Hi ,
I uploaded two new videos on youtube. On the first one you can see how our mast
is bending. There is significant intentional twist on the main because of strong
wind. We had to furl the jib soon after this. The speed was then 7.5 knots
upwind with the main only.

On the other video you may see some overall appeareance of our boat. There is
lots of main sheet . We changed the main sheet to 1:2 and installed extra tying
points both for the sheet to attach and for tying up purposes. I think it wprks
now better. It is easier to handle winches now with the main sail only, forces
are lower.
