Re: Turning angle

Do you mean the tack (beat) angle? If so, this depends on the wether conditions, the sails, the underwater body smoothness and the skills of the helmsman and sail trimmer. Normal is 80 to 100 degrees. Hello Maja! Yes tack angle is the word I was looking for. Considering that the hull is clean, that ...

Hello Skald I have an IF boat (1973) which I bought with a motor already in well (Mercury Sail Pro 6 HP 4 stroke with large Mickey Mouse propeller and remote control).

Cable type

Hello Sailors

I would like to install an Anchor light (LED 1,5 watts) on the mast top of my IF. What kind of cable should I use in the mast to be sure it does not produce short cuts and how should I proceed to be sure it does not get entangled with the main halyard.

Any suggestion is welcome
