Re: gennaker info wanted

[Bob Schimmel <bpschim@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Betsy:

I have a gennaker and it pulls the boat like a team of horses. It is 
useful up to where the wind is fully abeam and maybe a bit further, but 
not much further. It has been a while since I set it so the memory is a 
bit foggy here.
I find that it is too much sail for me to set solo so I bought a 
spinnaker sock.  This makes the job a lot easier but I am still hesitant 
to set it solo it all but the lightest of winds. What I need is a 
competent crew so I can practice setting and dousing it.  But that is 
another story.
