No way to reef the main, or rake the mast on the fly.
With the main up I was going to go swimming, waters still a bit cold. The jib is off a snipe and fits the forstay fully, no way to set it lower or higher. I did have the perfect twist for high winds going upwind, With just the jib at 20 kts I was cooking upwind and could point fairly high, and the sail was clean with no flappin anywhere. My Labrisa's ideal wind speed in 10 to 15 kts, sortta like Bob 35s5 or it get real tender and prone to get blown over. Yeah the gunion broke while I was up near the mast using a tiller boom to get the boat to surf some waves when it broke. It got real squirreley until I made it back to the stern and grasped the top of the tiller at the rudder, good thing I have a spring clip on the bottom gunion or I might have had the rudder/ tiller yanked out of my hand. I'm going to test the new one tonight. I come in the marina and put the LaBrisa next to Redcloud in the slip. Joe |
