Reply to: Sailing in High wind

[quote=jlooby]Sorry about the piecemeal input but this is not my focus at this time of the year. As Dave posted above, yes the sail matters and you can see my H17 sails in my image are Twaron (and I haven't found the time to figure out how to rotate it on this site). 1 more point as the battens on a boomless main become more important. I went with the Aquarius round hollow battens. Using my older stock battens my sail's draft was too deep in heavy conditions. Now should you go with round hollow battens or another high end batten on a boomless rig be careful coming ashore with heavy air from behind as the sail will bend around the shrouds when you hit the beach and you can break the battens.
