Don't laugh... Posting for other newbies...
So I was advised to sail with one sail to see how the boat will react.... Then sail with the other single sail...... I did this and almost got into trouble. If I hadn't had a motor it would have been sad. So I only put up the forsail and motor out into the bay....., of course the boat really wouldn't street as it more or less just pivoted around the dagger board..... Once I used the motor to get some speed and got a decent sail shape we were able to sail but taking and turning around to the use of the motor...... No more single head sail for me....I would assume tho that a single mainsail would work much better.... Lesson from a rookie.
Cheers
