Downside of jib alone is tacking as mentioned. We often end up tacking through 130deg and then have to claw our way back to closehauled. Still worth it as my wife and I can easily handle 25+ winds. And she's no spring chick.RonWild CheriC&C 30-1STL
From: Andrew Burton via CnC-List In those conditions, you should be good with just a small jib and no main. That's a lot of breeze. I bet you were kind of lonely out there!Andy
