Default The French Jap

So, when you sail downwind do you place all crew on the rail to
induce heal?


I rarely sail dead downwind, so there's always some heel. I love the
feeling of a boat heeling, taking a set and off she goes. I've sailed a
PDQ 36 and the Gemini cat as well. They don't offer that sensation or
any real sailing sensations at all. Racing cats are another matter.
Sailing a tricked out Hobie 16 this summer when we rented a house in NC
was fantastic!
