Hello, I’ve just joined JRA as I have to consider an alternative to undertaking foredeck work, sailing single-handed ( no longer sure footed) I’ve always gone for fin keel and windward performance as I’ve always raced but I fear those days are now history- so your boat’s set up seemed an attractive option but I imagine it has long since been sold, so I hope you won’t mind my asking this- Can you give me some idea of how close-winded your boat was, and when beating in F4 and a slight sea, what sort of average speed could one expect? I’m assuming that you had the more common flat sails and not some of the more innovative sail shapes I have read about on JRA. Many thanks In advance if you can comment Gordon
