Although I'm seldom alone in Moondance, I'm frequently the only one
actively operating the boat. So far it's gone pretty well. The one
thing I consistently have problems with is keeping the bow pointed
windward while raising sails. I guess I'm just not comfortable with whe
general procedure. I raise the main first, and then the jib, but by the
time I get the main most of the way up I'm usually broadside to the wind
and really working to get it go the last foot or too. Could someone
offer some pointers? What is the best procedure for keeping the bow
windward? Also, how much slack should I have in my mainsheet?
Thanks,
