Four Single Hand Tacks

This post was updated on .
Four single hand tacks with a Jeckell Genoa 110% in about two minutes.  This was done in 15 knot winds from the ESE off the Atlantic ocean in Bull's Bay along the St Johns river yesterday December 8, 2015. My little SeaHawk does come around promptly. She handles better with a tiller extension and passenger towards the middle of the boat. Also a bit of rake in the mast makes her weatherly and helps in pointing upwind to tack. This is our sailing season as the temps moderate into the mid 60's - 70's Fahrenheit during the winter.
