That too. We had an awesome run down the Severn with the wind blowing 55+ and ripping foam off the wavetops and throwing it up in the trees ashore. We didn't even think about the main, the working jib alone gave us a steady 10-11 knots boatspeed. Everything was going great until we had to turn around and then discovered our speed under motor was about 0.5 knots!

Anytime it blowing hard enough to worry about jibing, main is probably not going to add alot of speed, but will cause more helm and worry. Jib alone is so simple. David F. Risch, J. D.
