Yes, I hope to encourage other sailors to post on Hive. I've written to @millenial-falcon to encourage them to start posting again on Hive.
The current sail arrangement is a single foresail (either 170sqm gennaker or 270 sqm asymmetric spinnaker on a Nexfurl roller). This provides 90% of the thrust for 20% of the effort.
I have had up to 4 sails in the past.
The forward rake is so I have balanced steering with only a single sail I think.
Not sure re static righting moment. I am very stable and allow my passengers to safely keep a wine glass on the table even in rough seas.
Thanks so much for the reply. Amazing, I've never seen anything like it. I expect fully kitted out with solar she'll be a truly eco friendly motor sailor, able to go anywhere in any weather.
Look forward to your next posts and thanks once again :-)
