This is only a "propping up the bar" type question really [a handy coincidence, that...hic... Which do people reckon is the easist to sail (=race): single wire symmetric, twin wire asym, or asym cat? For some added context: inland sailing, crew not experienced, helm moderately expereienced (mainly as by-product of age....). |
] so don't anyone get het up 'bout it - just interested to hear some views from different quarters:Replies:

Spinny system on a symmetric boat is harder to master then assy, most twin wire boats will be more of a handfull but i think they would probably be easier to race, twin wires generaly means more rag, which means you dont get t-bagged as often. I have never sailed an assy cat so cant comment. ------------- |

twin wire boats are easier than single wire boats(cat or mono) you don't have to shout instructions at your crew then ------------- http://www.blym.org.uk/ - BLYM http://www.blym.org.uk/hydrs/index.htm - Hertfordshire Sailing team Uk-Cherub 2644 Laser 4000 -4089 |
