A quick walk around before trying the newly moved mast and furling jib.
We moved the mast back 18 inches to get better power balance and added a roller furling jib which is great.
Wind blew up badly and it was freezing cold so only out for a few minutes. The furling jib was a godsend as previously trying to take it down in the 30+mph winds that kicked up was nightmare.
We now need to move the leeboard back to remove the massive weather helm which made tacking impossible.
I will add a movable spar between the tramp decks so we can fine tune it to get the position perfect but will also look at putting fixed skegs on the outriggers which will keep our shallow water ability but remove the complication and splashing of the leeboard.
