[quote=DamonLinkous][quote=bacho]Keep in mind that you will rarely want to sail dead down wind. I like to keep the tells on the bridals at about 90* with the apparent wind.[/quote][quote=MN3]
Where i sail, at low tide you can't sail everywhere and there are lots of times you must sail dead downwind, or spin-less[/quote]
I think the point is that while you CAN physically sail a beachcat dead downwind, it's an extremely slow thing to do, although sometimes can be required as MN3 states.
Different from Dinghies which might want to sail that way.

I have a pig tail system (spliced dynema) that i can adjust the top blocks about 6" . that equals 4.5' of more (or less) mainsheet with my 9:1[/quote]
That can help a lot if the boom is high enough to allow for the pig tail and still not go block to block when sheeted hard.[/quote]
