[quote=catmodding]If it works four you, Pete, thats fine. I'm a only into cats for 4 years
and saw my P18-2 sail away from me the first year.
Luckily it ran on a sandy beach, and I only had to swim 150 yards.
From that time, I right my cat the way an expert learned me and I've not been
in trouble since. ( except for fatigue, when I went over 4 times in one
afternoon )
So, snap hackle on the boom for quick release, enough slack on the jib sheet
to release it from the block while you're in the water, spi back into the snuffer
and bow into the wind.
I sail on a lake, where gusts can be quite horrendous.
Regards, André
[quote=pbegle]Andre, In 43 years sailing cats, I've never uncleated jib in a capsize when single handing because of my weight (142 #'s). Never had a boat run away from me though I know it's contrary to accepted opinion. It just comes up quicker. Pete[/quote][/quote]
