Re: 440 Sailing with Gib only and no main sail

At the end of the day good seamanship and common sense should prevail, based on the weather conditions at the time and the projected forcast. I started this thread some months ago and it has been...

Re: Replacing Skin Fittings And Ball-valves The Boat's 5 Years Old.

Just to add to the plastic thru hulls debate... I owned a Gemini 105Mc for about 12 years. All thru hulls and valves are plastic, the type I do not know. What I do know is that after 12 years I had...

Re: 440 Sailing with Gib only and no main sail

Makes absolute sense, as you say there would be dozens of threads here saying my mast broke !!! These wind speeds are within the typical trade wind windows you would expect.

Re: 440 Sailing with Gib only and no main sail

So we might be saying under 25 knots no main not an issue... worth investgating with Lagoon I think.

Re: 440 Sailing with Gib only and no main sail

Lagoon4us,

My initial thread was based on heavy weather off the wind sailing.

I am not looking to do any serious manoeuvring of my 440 under head sail alone, not without a lot of sea room....

Re: 440 Sailing with Gib only and no main sail

It is quite standard practice to sail for weeks on end on a Transatlantic crossing with twin furling head sails. Most head sail roller furling gear has the option for two foils. This also allows the...

Re: Lagoon 440 Performance ?

It is pretty straight forward; there should be four webbing straps with hooks on, two for the front and two for the back. You will also need to do a bit of sliding with the frame, there are retaining...
