I'd LOVE that! Only other ballasted boat sailing I've done was aboard a
57' (LOD) wooden gaff rigged ketch, from the BVI's to the Caicos....I never had the guts to fly my Mutineer's spinnaker. The high lake I sailed on??? No Schmidt, 180 degree wind shifts were not uncommon. You really had to keep your ears tuned to pressure changes, and your eyes open for cats paws...
An Aussie who started me out told me that if I could learn to sail my mutineer on this high lake, I'd understand how sail works anywhere in the world...
