Sails & Rig
Sailing an H-Boat: Having sailed these boats on/off for 45 years, you never lose the satisfaction of how this little boat belies its size and competes competitively alongside the 'big boys' with such ease. They are infinitely adjustable which is the fun of sailing an H-Boat - sail twist and flattening controls allow you to set the boat up for the prevailing wind conditions and you don't have big genoa's to fight with. Tacking is easy, quick and controlled and when the heat is on, you can adjust the control lines to make her easier to manage if the wind pipes up. Once you get the hang of it, the confidence this little boat gives you grows and grows. The other thing to remember, she has a 50% ballast ratio so the boat is more manageable in the gusty conditions to make best use of the power the mainsail generates. It's positively exhilarating to sail!
