Most of the canoes still have most of their wood in the hulls, some have been sheathed in fiberglass, but they still flex. (there is often a bailer person keeping them dry). The one I was on leaked between some of the logs. Very high maintenance. They have a handicap system, which uses the

It depends on your sail configuration. You said you have a light number 1. We have an all-purpose no.1 and a rather large no.2, and a “working jib” as our number 3, which we seldom use here on the Chesapeake. So, if it is blowing, we will start with the number 2 and a reef (only have one). On
