Hi all

Anyone had experience of the para-sail on a cat?

good to hear all of the views. Your views will be useful when I plan some extended cruising. For now I manage 2-3 weeks at a time between South UK and South Brittany.

Hi, what is an average / realistic etmal for the Lagoon 440 from the Capo Verden to Trinidad around Nov.?
The boat would have Genacker sail as well.

best regards

Forgiveness if this is an obvious question but you did have the helm friction lock fully disengaged right? On the 380 I chartered its a little wheel on the steering wheel hub that gradually applies friction to the steering wheel as you tighten it...
