A few months into my rookie sailing season, my confidence is soaring - thanks to everyone here!
Sailing wing & wing is so much more efficient using my boat hook as a whisker pole!

And when I need to take 5, I'm happily hove-to!

I realize roller reefing is sub-optimal - but it's sweet to have it available when yer hair's gettin' blown off!

Thanks, all! Chuck
Great pictures.
Just wait until you fly a 150 on the end of that whisker pole. You CP16 will fly.
