Harry & Nancy, if you don't subscribe to "Good Old Boat" yet, you
should. The current March/April issue has a fine article on sailing
with just the jib, or just the main. It is written by Jerry Powlas,
Technical Editor, and may well answer some of your wonderings about
sailing "Li'l Nan" under jib alone. He and his wife, Karen, Editor,
are experienced Lake Superior sailors, and they frequently write
about the joys you are envisioning.

No, my e-mail address is not salacious, it just refers to my last
sailboat, "The Old Cat."
