Sailing Tendencies
These boats have a relatively small mainsail compared to other yachts of their size. They use a large headsail to increase sail area. The boom is relatively high from the bottom of the cockpit, and the end is more forward. Mainsail controls are achieved through a cabin-top mounted winch, leading to a traveler car system running across the deck in front of the main cabin's sliding hatch.

Famous quotes containing the words sailing and/or tendencies:
“Theologians should not be ashamed to admit that they cannot enter a contest with such antagonists [the sceptics], and that they do not want to expose the Gospel truths to such an attack. The ship of Jesus Christ is not made for sailing on this stormy sea, but for taking shelter from this tempest in the haven of faith.”
—Pierre Bayle (1647–1706)
“There are two tendencies in all our war talk.... The first is to boast, if not of ourselves and our deeds, at least of our army, our corps, our regiments. The other is to find fault with, to criticize, to censure, to condemn others. If there is a victory, we gained it and must have the credit of it. If there is a failure, it was the fault of the other fellow,—he must be blamed for it.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
