newbie tacking question
My god you are a tiny minded charterless person.

My motor might well run from time to time.
That's more than you can say for your wife's
sexual desires which do not exist for your fat,
ugly, bloated carcass. Give me five minutes
with the poor, deprived bitch and she will
think she died and went to heaven.

There's something wrong with your boat.
I can tack through only 60 degrees in light winds.

sailing a small sloop keel boat, 19 foot Com-Pac 19, in light winds.
i'm having difficulty making a nice smooth tack in light winds.
for example, if close hauled on a starboard tack with a heading of
180
degrees, after i tack i must fall off to a heading of much more than
280
degrees to regain steerage, and only after regaining forward speed
can i
return and point up to a 280 degree heading or less.
i don't think the problem is so pronounced in brisk winds, but
haven't
actually taken the observations of the compass.
is this typical to have to fall off the wind much more than the
eventual
heading to obtain steerage?
thanks.
