[C38] straight down wind spinnaker

[cat38skip]

Bob,
I'm in agreement with the other comments on going dead-downwind. After about 165 deg it gets really exciting. Kind of like sailing a beachball with a rudder on it. Bear off a bit and go for controlled speed. Then you get to practice your jibes!!

Fair winds,
Dave

In your opinion what is the best down wind cut. 140 degrees to straight downwind,180 degrees.  I use a pole and four sheets.  The sail will have a sock. thanks in advance bob
