Finally was able to get out with the "spinnaker" (old E-scow reacher, very flat) and Hobie 16 jib instead of the big G-Cat genoa. Bag launched it off the front tramp. On the 3rd went out with my Dad and daughter and tried out the big sail. Light air that would ramp up to about 8-10 then back down again. Once we threw the "spinnaker" we just beam reached and sheeted it in! Wow! We kept sailing out of the wind patterns ahead of them. Kept the jib up and was able to have both headsails pulling. Sailed tight angles for the speed since it was fairly light. And the shape was great for tight reaching, sheeted to to the back beam. We really buried the bow once but it just came back up and we kept on trucking. My daughter was just laughing and loved the spray. I'm sold. This light weight boat accelerates at an incredible rate.
