Reply to: Extreme Windward

[quote=catman42]Am very new to sailing a '82 Hobbie 16 and for the first attempt at it I discovered that I can hardley get it to come about. It goes into the wind really easy and is a bear to get going again. I am sailing alone and using only the main sail cause I haven't figured out how to sail with the jib yet and especially single handed. The mast is raked back and the forestay is non-adjustable. My question is, am I experencing this problem because of not using the jib or do I need to purchase a forestay adjuster to be able to adjust the rake forward? Any help would be greatly appreciated.[/quote]
