Thanks Tyler! I remember it from the Lake Pleasant Ran Tan. I think you walked away from us on Seas the Day! Of course my extra xxxx lbs. didn't help our performance much. On Fri, Jul 24, 2015 at 11:43 AM, Tyler Backman <casioqv@usermail.com> wrote:
I use a nylon drifter on my M15, I am not sure of the dimensions. It can tack to windward but doesn't point as high as the working jib, I think even in light air it's much faster downwind but slower upwind than the working jib.
I run it outside the shrouds, currently to the dockline cleats... but will add a genoa track for it soon.

Who uses a drifter with their M17? What are the dimensions? I see in the archives there is a picture of Larry Yakes' Corn Dog that shows a drifter that appears to be tacked to the bow pulpit. How is that working out, Larry? How big is the sail? Do you tack it like a genoa or jibe it like a spinnaker? What type of fitting do you have on the bow pulpit? What other light air options, short of a full blown soinnaker, are there? Thanks!
