I've given up on rudders and now dispense with lugging them down to the boat. So There is no rudder in the boat to tie in some special way.

Make sure the hull turns nicely when healed. I tried this with a laser and the hull just doesn't turn the same way as a Cape Cod Mercury hull. Good luck!!!!

Yes, it is not evident from the video what dangers were lurking in this situation. Hitting anything hard with a boat can wreck stuff. Was the boat damaged or did your drink spill? What was the extent of the casualties? Were people hurt on board the boat as a result of the power boat leaving or a ...

I've forgotten to latch the canopy. It finally decided to open at 9000ft agl (it was a boomer day). My glasses flipped behind my head (I thought I lost them at first). Anything not tied down was blowing wildly about. I collected myself as best I could and was able to head the glider towards the f...

Steering is largely affected by boat heal. Sheeting in the main will heal the boat and steer it upwind. Steering downwind under sail is dependent largely on weight distribution alone; however, backing the main and applying weighton the boom side of the boat will result in a downwind turn, althoug...

Thanks for your feedback. You are correct, the boat is better balanced with both mainsail and jib. So without the jib, more weight to windward is required to keep the boat from turning into the wind. A backwinded jib also aids in tacking. For me, rudderless sailing with no jib is less complex (fe...

Hmm... one of my objectives was to make the sailing controls as simple as possible and able to work in more winds. But you have a point that with the jib the sails are better balanced.
