On our return we did the trip in two legs because of the tides. We had bags of wind going home 15 to 20 knots with guests to 25. The wind was north so this put us on a broad reach. With so much wind I would have liked to have had a boom vang and adjustable traveler. This would allow me to flatten and lower the main sail on the move . More wind will spill out of the top of the sail and it will reduce weather helm..
Has any body put a boomvang on a CD31? Was it hard to do? I have looked at this and think it can be done.. The traveler will take a little more work but it also can be done.
The second leg we had even more wind and ended up motoring the last part as the wind was almost on the nose with gusts to 35 knots.
We stayed two nights in St Andrews . We had a great day of sailing and food on Passamaquoddy Bay. A couple pics from the lay over day .
