FloraCraft Styrofoam Cone-9"X4"

Product Information

The wind remained shifty and 20-knot bullets of breeze started to bully us as we tacked between shallows.

Steering slowly through the tack, I anticipated a flurry of activity, but instead watched the crew get up, cross the cockpit and settle themselves into the cushions again as the self-tacking jib flopped over.An increasing trend in cruising boats, this seems an acceptable shift from the barely effective coachroof travellers.

The instant power didn’t seem to match with how easily all the sail appeared; it felt like we’d dropped the clutch on a high-revving engine and I half expected to see steam rising from the wake behind us. Off-wind sails are flown from a padeye on the stemhead, as the stainless-steel bow roller has no bobstay so cannot support significant load. I personally struggle with the performance compromise when trimming a mainsail on vang and sheet alone.
