I know plenty of people who single hand the bigger boats. Aside from capsize recovery, I see no disadvantage to single handing a bigger boat.


Hi Ryan

Bigger boats have alot more sail area... and that means a lot more horsepower in heavy air... throw in a HUGE spinnaker... and you need raw weight and muscle

I sail solo and using a spin in even light air takes 3 hands .... <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
