This should answer the question. I have sailed with this spin for a couple of years now, in winds as high as 20 knots. In high winds the main must be centered, the sheet never released, downhaul off.
BTW, yes that is a 14 foot pole and a 235 sq ft chute. [/quote]
Holy crap, that is great! What Chute did you use and how far up the mast is the tang?
How does the boat compete with other cats?
