Re: Catamaran tacking angles , really that bad???

In stormy conditions you have to slow down the boat, even with bare poles you must use rope loops at stern to not get too fast according to the user manual of our slow cats.

Re: Catamaran tacking angles , really that bad???

I think this is consistent with the decision to buy that particular brand / model. You are into comfort cruising and living on board and not into racing. It is a different attitude.

Re: Catamaran tacking angles , really that bad???

Because I'm reaching / going downwind.

TWA is almost 120 degree (from behind), 12kn - but because of the boat speed, the AWA is 076 degree so slightly upwind apparent,

AWS 11.5kn (the wind...

I never claimed that, 47AWA on genoa, 60AWA on code0, 120...140 COG from tack to tack, old standard sails, inexperienced sailor, never raced and learned to trimm properly, heavy loaded condomaran....

Re: Catamaran tacking angles , really that bad???

Yes, we had a great smoothe passage between Dec. 17th and Jan. 12th, sailed across directly from Las Palmas to St. Martin (F) staying as far north as possible below the duldrums for steady but not to...

Re: Catamaran tacking angles , really that bad???

Re: Catamaran tacking angles , really that bad???
