How about if I just toss up a jib sail instead and go where the wind does!
Then I too shall sail.
Back in the early 90’s I bought an Excalibur 26 sailboat, and taught myself how to sail on the San Francisco Bay (single handed). You will see 6 knot winds in the morning and 35 knot winds at dusk.
I did the Farralons Island race (2 handed) with my friend, who later did the 1996 solo TransPac on a Pretorian. He came in 8th I think. We were flying a spinnaker in 20 knot+ winds LOL.
