@larsforyou I also own a Pearson Commander, lots of those on the bay too :)
-
So who get to tidy the cabin! :-)

They know they have to much sail up, that's why it says entertaining but inefficient :P
-
U have to much sails up
-
Reef or trim.. When you heel like that, most of the wind spills over the top of the sail.
-
wow,most beautiful sail in the network
-
Lots of Folkboats on San Francisco bay. I own a Pearson Commander, but love the folkboats.
-
A note on reefing:
Folkboats here in Scandinavia are virtually never reefed for two reasons: its generally not needed and the simple rig and relatively thin mast would probably be stressed in a way it was not designed for. Folkboats will race in winds of +30 kts without reefing - wet but fast :)

You're totally right - although for some reason folkboat sailors don't tend to reef often. In this case we were close to the marina and enjoying the ride!
