Hey, Jeff...while on a broad reach and after we passed the NS 36 with
only a mainsail, this Freedom passed us both....

That's a Freedom 39... a cat-schooner. Long time ago, Brian Grant was
a regular poster here, he had one.

running.


Depends on the wind angle. At some point, the main is going to start
blanketing the foresail... before DDW... that's the angle to switch to
WnW.
