I'm trying to learn more about the windseeker. I guess it's only for racers or engineless sailboats, cause any cruiser would turn on the engine in this windrange. We've had a few races where the wind died just before the start or in the middle of the race. If the boat rolls to leeward the genny acts like a big break and stops the boat. I think the sail is used to get the boat moving and once you see some speed, roll out the genny. You probably need a crew light on their feet, so their movement doesn't stop the boat as you set or take down the windseeker. I wonder if it can be used with the genny and/or the spinnaker?

Is a windseeker used to ultra-light winds in place of a gennie? Joel On Thu, Aug 2, 2012 at 10:20 AM, Chuck S < [email protected] > wrote: I like the pictures in UK's newsletter.
