Re: Stus-List sailing under jib alone

I often sail with a single sail with my wife on board. She likes everything about sailing except the sailing (heeling) so I like to keep it relatively calm if the wind is over 10 kts. If the wind is up and direction favors reaching most of the day I only use the main, but if the wind is light an

Re: Stus-List sailing under jib alone

I have sailed in storm conditions several times with only a jib and no problems. The main, when hoisted, dies stabilize the mast. But with the rig on the 40, for instance, I would crank on the baby stay and back stay to induce bend and then rig the runners fairly hard. The mast would be perfect

Re: Stus-List sailing under jib alone

Bill said: I also never move the boat anywhere, even under power, without having both the main and genoa (as well as the anchor) ready to deploy on short notice if the need arises. I think, it is otherwise called “good seamanship”, isn’t it? Marek__

Re: Stus-List sailing under jib alone

I do this more often than not when not racing. And when racing, a few instances where the wind went 25 - 35 Kts, button up the main and use the Genoa alone. I will leave the genoa slightly cracked off though, because keeping it flat in those conditions is a lot of strain. It sails great like t

Re: Stus-List sailing under jib alone

The main functions the same as a line going from the masthead to the end of the boom. The mainsheet and vang pulling that structure downward act on that to pull the mast rearward, or at least apply pressure in that direction. I sometimes sail with just the Genoa, but I do apply a little tensio

Re: Stus-List sailing under jib alone

I remember reading somewhere years ago that the main helps stabilize the rig.   Not sure exactly what that means, but every time you fall off a wave the rig vibrates.  If you have the main up, it probably prevents some of the vibration.   That might be a factor if

Re: Stus-List sailing under jib alone

I am afraid that the idea of the “uneven loading on the rig” is another myth. Your rig (not the rigging, but the boat, as a whole) is unbalanced. How much, it depends on the size and shape of your jib. I think the problem stems from the fact that in lighter winds, you want to have as much sai

Re: Stus-List sailing under jib alone

I've also heard that sailing with just the jib is bad but I'm not sure I buy it. When you sail with the main and jib you are not removing the point load from the jib, but adding the distributed load from the main as well. By the way, what has surprised me is how well the 35-1 balances with j
