[quote=erice]i find sailing with the jib that air flowing from the 5.2's big overlapping jib around the back of the sail always streams the tell-tales even when i have the traveller in less than ideal position. generally centered even when reaching
sailing without the jib makes you work the traveller much more to keep the tell-tales streaming and so sail without jib occasionally just as a training exercise on traveller positioning
plus racing a h16 2-up we find soloing the 5.2 with both sails leads to too big an advantage for close racing
so either carry crew or soloing with only the jib is a way of handicapping the 5.2 back to about a h16 2up <!-- editby --><em>edited by: erice, Jun 11, 2010 - 07:02 PM</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
