You two should do a repeat but with commentary/tips/advice to explain what you are doing and how you are tackling situations.

Very nice! How did you find the self-tacking jib? I've not sailed on a boat with one.

[@SailingTumbler]

You don’t really notice it. It works when needed and stays quiet when it isn’t. Very occasionally you send someone to the foredeck to back it by hand in close quarter manoeuvring but otherwise you leave it alone. Most of the time on the Broads you sail on the top of the main, and make decisions on that basis.

[@jakereich]

Interesting. I suppose in theory you could still have port and starboard jin sheets, which most of the time would be loose, and then use them when you need to back the jib. I'm just thinking ahead to if I ever get a cruiser, as I'd likely be single-handed much of the time. (Which is no problem with our Tideway 12!)
