Yeah this one’s the Genoa, I’ve got a jib in the sail bag as well that’s only a tiny bit smaller. They are both pretty small though! They don’t even go all the way up the forestay. I reckon a much larger gib and Genoa could be cut but then again the boat won’t go much more than 5 knots so I guess it doesn’t need to be bigger, but I’d love a large jib to just use for downwind sailing since hoisting the mainsail as demonstrated is such a PITA single handed.
I will! this is certainly on my shopping list. Only issue I have is I have 0 electrics so it will probably come in an end of season re-fit along with nav lights some USB chargers and a little solar panel. I've also considered that on my next outing I should raise sail heading into the wind given how easily my sails came back down at the end of this trip without loosing control.

Nice tour of your newly refurbished boat Yan!
Nice!😄
i like
Great video Yan! Really enjoyed it 😊 I can’t tell, but I think your ‘front sail’ is either called a Genoa or Jib

As sound as you can afford it, get a tiller pilot. It transforms single handed sailing.

@@yanafloat it might be worth trying a bungee cord & rope set up until you get your electrics sorted. There are examples on UA-cam.
Makes me feel sick 😂
