Looking for a bit of a rush in an otherwise boring time of the year for sailing I thaught I would add that dacron jib in my trailer with out its extra "luggage" I had a very fun time completely overpowered at times and was amazed with my ability to push on through the lulls (on wire) smile . performance down wind was also a bit of an experience sailing some spinnaker esque hot anglesl, all a bit of fun and the simplicity in adding the sail far surpassed that of my spinnaker still missing crucial parts.

Next time i will use all 3 wink

The plan was simple.... Like my brother in law Phil, except this plan just might work!

Yeah it's a thrill one up with a jib. I've just traded from a Windrush to the mozzie and I prefer to run with a jib in the light conditions as you can hike out longer. I know that the windie is no match for the mozzie but the jib helps with the tacks.


Saw it on a cartoon once.....I'm pretty sure I can do it

Hi Mitchell,

back in the Dark Ages wink before the spinnakers cry, on Perfect Score when Ben was starting to sail other boats crazy. I sailed super sloop a fair bit, got some great times around the island, mind you I still had plenty of weight on board sick.

I seriously thought it was a option for a heavy weight sailor Mossie Class, others didn't seem interested though frown . Now of course the last thing Mossies need is another option whistle.

Was bloody good fun though grin.

Simon I use very smelly split toe boots which always helps.
I can still tack much quicker cat rig, and I prefer the rope free tramp.
just for another mozzi option I could develop a roller furling gennaker?? ooh ooh and some side steps smile
