Thanks for that advice Gordon,
We were out in light winds yesterday morning (adult sail training), but also flat sea and had a lovely sail; might have made some Wayfarer converts !
The sheeting in slowly (in fact all adjustments slowly) makes a big difference. If you allow the flow to establish itself for a few seconds I was pleasantly surprised how nicely things start moving (and that was with 3 adults on board).
Also, we did sit forward and things moved nicely with “loose” jib.
All the best,
Boris.
