Default What makes a boat weatherly?

Why a Mast head Rig?

He is probably a lot like me. That is what I'm use to. A mast head
balances better while cruising. That's my opinion and it is just my
opinion, for what its worth.

I've sailed on 3/4 rigs, and have to admit, the ability of watching that
rig automatically flatten the main in a puff does make me green with
envy. No helm correction needed during or after. Nice! I've often
wondered how it would preform on Main alone? My boat sails just fine. No
excessive weather helm. I know some fractional rigs won't. I know my
rig and am at ease with it
