You will notice, I was solo most of the time. I used a self steering of two bonjis on the upwind side and a single on the downwind sideand a clove hitch on the tiller. When I tacked, change one bonji over, readjust the clove hitch and walk away. I could jump off the boat, with a line connected of course, and the boat would sail straight. It did not matter if I was in light or heavy winds. I have been on the bow with wave coming over the bow and the boat sailed straight. I also changed the front hatch. I wanted to have it open while sailing, so I put the hinges on the other side. The jib did not catch on the hatch. V jam cleats were used for the jib sheets, easy to cleat and release. My traveler was well forward by the companionway. It was also the full width of the cockpit. You can also see I took off the sliding hatch while sailing. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN3WOg_-0QQ https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.3603104882714.2128244.1426362729&t...
