I am interested in what people have had success using for storm tactics with the 9.1. Even if you are only going to do coastal cruising you should be prepared in case you get caught in a good blow. In general I think inner forestays with a staysail and a tripple reefed main is a good way to go in almost anything. I know others like to use storm trisails. Has anyone fitted the boat with an inner forstay? I think the aft end of the spinnaker pole down haul is a good place to anchor one, but the deck is not supported enough for sever loads. I think you would want to add a tie strap similar to the one for the baby stay. This would definitely effect the useability of the V-berth. What is every one else doing? |
