Hello,
We had to sail with the main down and just the jib up once. The comp tip had broken on the TheMightyHobie18. Made it about a mile upwind to the original launch spot. good wind and big boards prolly explain our success.
We roll the jib up quite alot due to strong winds. Also i have old tornado sails on the boat. shortened the main at the top and stock old jib.
Between the smaller jib and sailing w/ a furled jib the rudder pins bend every time we go out in the strong trades. the weather helm isn't excessive even with the jib furled though.
