Performance in rough seas

   I am not sure how big is my gale sail but I believe is 6 sq metres. I will check it with the sail maker. Preparation is not difficult and you don't need a pair of dedicated sheets, you can use the self taking sheet and hoist it with the spinnaker halyard. I also used that sail in a situation where I had 25/30 knots of wind and an angle to the wind close to 90. I had gale sale and two reefs on the main. The boat was pretty stable and fast.

	It is strange how on coming ashore I was struck by the springy step, the lively eyes, the strong vitality of everyone I met.
