[quote=erice]another depowering option is to stop mast rotation
in those conditions i would sail my 5.2 without the jib and blow the traveller in tacks to stop weather vanning into irons
the traveller is a big big step forward in boat design that mono have now borrowed from cats, try to to use it more and the mainsheet less. esp. in big winds
without the jib feeding the back of thje main you will need tomake many more traveller adjustments for each point of sail, which is a very good way of learning about sail settings etc.[/quote]
