No google. I know, I know!! Mount an anchor on the companionway hatch cover! This has been proven to increase downwind speed every time, regardless of mast rake! Actually, we open our cabintop hatch and our bow hatch straight up, to grab more wind while going downwind. Do you make the crew stand up too? We do that in NZ. And block the sails? That doesn't sound too bright. This signature is now the ultimate power in the universe |
