Default Sailing a sloop with main alone...

yep, ya need the two sails to creat the "slot" and lift to
get the boat to move fwd...unless you are going down wind,
or "off" the wind.....then a main will just push you along,
downwind...happy sailing!!....


Is that why Lasers and other cat rigs can't go to windward?
