I picked up my new (to me) Wave five days ago and, with the Memorial Day holiday, have had it out at least twice a day. Wind has been a steady 8 to 10 knots with some brief periods of 15 or so. Chop has been minimal.
I'm new to cat sailing, so I couldn't have asked for better shakedown conditions.
I have many questions, but will try to keep posts focused. For starters, where are the best locations for telltales and wind indicators on my Wave, and what am I watching for them to do?
My Sunfish has no stays or shrouds and the windward sail telltale doesn't tell much. I'm betting the Wave's twisted sail presents its own challenge.
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
Best,
Kevin
