This was at 70 degrees AWA and 7.5-8kt apparent. I think I needed the tack pulled tighter but it's just way too much pressure at that wind speed to get it down under load. I also need to tweak its lead a bit since it was getting behind the furler even with the ATN tacker (that you can't see)
Great photographs! That genniker looks massive. I had Doyle make an asymmetrical for Orion and I’ve flown it a couple times so far. I haven’t been able to snap a photo yet but I will sooner or later. Those ATN sleeves are a godsend for a singlehander.
Sailing involves the courage to cherish adventure and the wisdom to fear danger. Knowing where one ends, and the other begins, makes all the difference.
