Hey Everyone,
Good morning! This weekend, my mother is going to be out of town and my father will be working as well, leaving my brother and I to our sweet demise (rubs hands together like an evil scientist). I've never gotten to sail Valiant alone, simply because I believe it requires at least one other crew member to head forward to the mast and tend to raising/lowering the main. I have a 135 furling genoa, so that's easily accessible from the cockpit, but the task of tending to the mains'l might prove to be challenging, as keeping the boat in irons would be impossible without having the tiller in hand. Any thoughts?
God Bless,
S.S.
