One daggerboard down and 4th reef as we head towards the Caribbean.
Does your catamaran have dagger boards? How do you set yours up for downwind sailing? In this video we talk a little about why we have the one dagger board down for a downwind kite ride across the Atlantic Ocean.
Ocean crossing in 20+ knots of breeze with our 4th reef in and the fractional spinnaker flying. It is an unusual set up so take the time and have a look at this video and see why Shayne has decided this is the right combination for these conditions. Champagne sailing at it’s finest.
We are making good progress in our Atlantic Crossing so much so that when we need to take Frankie (the fractional spinnaker) down to climb higher and avoid weather, the kids asked to set up their own sails to get the speeds back up.
