NEW sails is really the best answer for light breeze. Then you can include drifters, spinnalers, and the sort. My 30ft. Columbia use to drift in 8 knot winds. When I put on new sails she was actually sailing 3-4 knots. Less weather helm, and you can get off of your ear. She will sail more upright. I prefer a cutter because of the versatility in all weather...i2f
