Reply to: Hobie Tiger going downwind

[quote=Wolfman]Should go like a bat out of hell downwind with a spin!! Likely you are sailing too deep. You have to remember that a catamaran asymmetric spinnaker (called a gennaker) isn't meant to go directly downwind, you have to sail it somewhere between 100 degrees off the wind to about 140 degrees. Going lower will cause you to lose significant power. Other than that the advice provided above will help, except never put your crew on the lee side while flying the spin. You shouldn't need to.
