The rudder was way more responsive, it is really touchy now.
After a tack the boats gets to speed alot quicker.
Now the boat also sails itself, with less side force aft of the mast(from a wide sail with little twist) it reads the gusts better as it heels and speed increases, instead of pushing the boat sideways.
this is the best trim i found |
The main is set quite flat but twists under gusts |
So far so good!
I am happy with the current rigg, but if there is less than 7-8 knots of constant wind this 540g KARO is underpowered with 1300cm2 of sail.
Below is a sketch of the bigger rigg, drawn in the same way as the ICE/BUG/AWK riggs are.
But as i always get such good results with higher AR sails this won't be the new rigg.
Instead a 2000cm2 rigg with an AR of 2.5 or higher will be introduced.(stollery main AR: 2.0)
