Hi Jarle, Yes it's too easy now😉😉. Regards from Sweden

I just realized that you cannot have a larger % genoa. The clew has to be forward of the mast to attach to the self tacking traveler.

Hi FM! Yes correct, the sail is made to fit the front triangle perfectly. we have a +100% genoa furled in front of the self tacking jib furler. Cheers 👍😀.

Nice upgrade. Tighter upwind angles may still result in faster sailing if you don't have to tack as much. Looks like the inner stay attaches pretty high on the mast, so no need for a baby-back stay or running back-stay, correct?

Hi Marc, Yes the upwind sailing is easy now. The inner stay is high up on the mast so no need for extra stay. Cheers 😀

Have you worked out how to heave to?

I am curious about these self-tacking jobs. I see no way to adjust the foot of the sail, or even how to trim it. Is that something you could demonstrate in the future?

Hi Calvin, nice to get a video suggestion!👍 We take this to us and try to explain the sail trim and + and - off this type of sail setup in the future. 👍😁

I'm interested, who is the manufacturer of the self tacking hardware system?

Hi, the manufacturer is Selden mast. Good luck with the self tacking system.😁
