I used a Far 40 as an example because I have sailed a bit on one of these and while 4 persons could run the boat, I think it needs the weight of 8 persons on the rail just to keep it upright in even a moderate breeze. <br /><br />Cheers MarkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-994070224761667321.post-57977599104402280272014-09-22T20:18:39.315+01:002014-09-22T20:18:39.315+01:00Thanks!

I would say you would to have to sail the boat most of the time a lotPaulohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14910018730823789405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-994070224761667321.post-88409295054380347282014-09-21T23:22:35.050+01:002014-09-21T23:22:35.050+01:00Hi Paulo
Thank you for a great blog which I have ...Hi Paulo<br /><br />Thank you for a great blog which I have been enjoying since I joined a few weeks ago.<br /><br />I am interested in Mr Pelicano's comments on the A40RC and if he reads this, would like to know whether he thinks this is a boat that can be sailed with a shorthanded crew, or does in need 8 sets of legs over the side to keep it upright (say like a Farr 40)??<br /><br />Cheers Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
