Another great video, I really enjoy your channel. How long are you going to be in Grenada? I am headed down that way from the BVI in Aug.

Absolutely right. I have the 1st reef in the main most of the time. My L50 sails better. This is partly because the genoa gives better drive because the slot between it and the main is a better shape. It also allows you to pull the boom down harder for a better leach shape. The battens in the main sould be parallel with the boom for best drive but you see most cats sailing with the upper battens far off to to reward (an open leach). This greatly reduces the forward drive of the main. With folding props, good sails, and good trim a Leopard can keep up with (and sometimes walk right by) many so called "performance cruising" catamarans. And going upwind I can see 7kts with a 32AWA and a 110 degree tacking angle (the angle read of the chartplotter so it includes leeway).

Hi …. Your are not anchored … you have picked up a mooring ball .. there is a big difference between anchoring and pick judo a mooring
@SailingPILAR 3 ай бұрын
of course we are on a mooring. but we don't hear alot of people calling it that. anchoring seems to be the term everyone uses whether technically they are on a mooring ball or using their own anchor.
@StephenBell-pc6hq 3 ай бұрын
The pitons were spectacular. It was especially awesome to be anchored between them for the night. A special place for sure.

Excuse me that has to be a small fishing area away from Roseau obviously fishy. You couldnt have moored in Roseau where it is even deeper right to the shore where the large ships dock at the two deep water harbours. The higher the mountains at the coastline the deeper the water.

Im currently choosing between thr Paradailir and a Symetical Spinnaker for our L48. What it the max air speed you can run ut downwind? I have heard some ripped at 15 knots.
@SailingPILAR 3 ай бұрын
We really are careful and try to take her down when we start seeing anything over 15. Depends on the wind direction and the wave height as well.
