Trysail Track Installation

You don't need a trysail. Where you going in a Catalina that needs a trysail. Catalina's should not be taken out in more than 30 knots of wind. We won't be going anywhere if there are predictions for named storms in the forecast. Otherwise, we are racing from Annapolis to Bermuda. We won't intentionally put ourselves in the path of trysail weather, but it seems foolish to ignore the possibility that we could encounter such weather. In addition, the ORC regulations call for a trysail and we certainly intend to comply. As far as being offshore in a Catalina 38, I am confident in trusting my life to this sturdy Sparkman-Stephans design. The original owner raced her in the Transpac, and at least one sistership has gone around the world. |
