We have a number 1, 2 and 3 for upwind sailing. Our only option downwind is a .75.
After talking to most NA sailor over the weekend, most say a .5 in a reaching mode would rip to pieces. I would say this may be the case in winds above 15, so we would use a .75.
The reality of our word in 2014, winds in New Orleans have consistently been under 10 knots the entire year.
The class is approved to carry two spinnakers, why not a .75 and a .5.
Thanks Casey for taking the lead to discuss this topic.
