I sailed my SC20 in the Gulf singlehanded several times. After getting off shore I furled the jib and had a great time. The boat is light to the touch and very forgiving and with the jib furled it doesn't throw much spray. The major plus is the hull height/wave piercing/12' beam combination plus if ...

Don- I was speaking with Karen Ann Xavier one day about how she handles the spin sheet. Apparently she developed some sort of drop-in cleat attached to her trap harness. This allowed her to use her leg strength to hold the sheet instead of wrapping it around her hands. I haven't rtried it but it sou...
