I'm sailing an 18sx with the original spin, which is a very full cut. I'm used to the tigers where the windward hull pops out of the water as soon as the spin is up in decent wind. in less then 15knots the 18SX gets up to speed and just when it feels like it should start to fly a hull the spin luffs. this is with the spin sheated as hard as it can.
so in sub 15 knot conditions is it just not possible to get the hull flying with such a full cut sail?
I know that with enough wind anything will fly a hull downwind. what is the critical number for the 18SX?
Thanks
Seamus
