In both this and the IMOCA race, I have trying to purchase nav

Passing by Haiti, there is better wind forecast however, some of

night!!
Your Mum SA is certainly an interesting route.

Woohoo! finally got my Code 0 up - but going to have to drop it
again later :-[. So much up wind! the foils are just useless
added weight.

OK I see it now - the only reason I can hoist the reaching sail
is because the jib is pants! Most boats at 60 degrees wind
angle, and the sails option, are happy with the light jib. Ah
well...
