Railrider?
Posted: Mon Sep 18, 2006 8:14 am
We have a circular sail (vs flat) and it is great for not losing power when the input angle is less than straight on… but in turn also delivers a nice yaw torque (steers our boat) when the angle is not straight on.
Anybody experimented with flat vs circular sails before?
With our boat most likely steering, we will definitely hit the sides and probably stay there.
I am hopeful this will serve as a “rail-rider” and not come to screeching halt on us…
might even dab some light silicone grease on the sides of the boat…
… has anybody made a “rail-rider” Regatta before?
