Andrew,

I suppose I'm just used to light air. We're lucky to see more than 12 knots of breeze at Hueston Woods.

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="" />

Ryan - H16 I prefer to go sailing because baseball, football, tennis, and golf only require 1 ball!
