Just as UPS promised, our new-to-the-boat Quantum V5 Asymmetric Spinnaker arrived today, the last business day available before we depart. Here we are laying it out on the lawn to check it from corner to corner to corner. All is well!
If wind speed is below about ten knots and wind angle is between about 70 and 170 degrees apparent, we will launch this sail, which alone is equal in area to the total of the other three sails on the boat. Simply put, this is more horsepower, to help us drag our eighteen tons across the ocean, without gift to the oil producers.
