Re: Heavy weather-sailing under main only
Hmmmm
Largest main sail.
Most money spent on a Mac.
Heaviest Mac, aside from the Pearl
Most holes drilled, re drilled, mind changed, and drilled again..... where did you say the ballast tank was again....
Most battle scars
Most broken rudders
Most exciting Mac sailing stories..... can't make this stuff up.... I thought the helm was supposed to stay attached while in use...
Most run ins with the local mouring ball enforcement...... you call that a float? or a Dock? Or.... wait a minute.... did you say he was from Canada.... great.. now we have a home land security breech. LOL

Yeah, that about sums it up. Someone should have confiscated my drill long ago
I got myself a Swiss boom. You can mount virtual anything on it in any location. Holes are already there

Re: Heavy weather-sailing under main only
No Punt here but if I used your Cutter rig,double spreaders with the roller furlings I would get Knocked down in every thunderstorm that hits here. (summer every day..winds 20-35 knots).
You must have very light winds at your Nav. area.
To much weight aloft .
Must have put in a solid Lead daggerboard and upgraded all your standing rigging and Chainplate reinforcements. For just 25 knots of wind.
Like to see a vidio in 25 knot winds in your boats performance.
