Let's face it. Oceans have been crossed in boats as little as 6' long. I think the present record is 5' 11' ( I'm not quite sure). Any body of water may be...

I usually sail solo and was wondering whether anyone has any thoughts on whether a 170% light-air genoa be too big for a solo sailor to handle, in light air of...
This truly depends on sailing experience and wind conditions. It does hold true though that a 100 jib is much easier to jibe than a 170. mitchelldranow...
I sail with a 163 solo all the time in winds up to 15 kts. It can get a little hairy sometimes but just watch the wind and be ready to depower the main in the...
Only problem in light air with the 170 is make sure you let it backwind when coming about. Else you have to leave the helm. run forward, help it around and run...
of course you'd be "better off" in a larger boat if you define better off as more comfortable and safer... sailing across the ocean in a 24 ft boat can be...

... There are a couple of things you can do to make singlehanded sailing easier. If you have hanked on sails you could rig a light weight line from the head of...
The set of sails on "Atrocious" included a #3 blade jib with three rows of reef points. While sailing on the Beaufort River (SC) we were caught by a fast...
... I would make one point here. Although,as Mark says, I experienced high winds, I'm not sure what it did for me. When the breeze pipes up, I'm very careful...
Davy, On my original sail, SJ 24 is near the top of the sail and my hull number 422 is lower. So, I imagine that your main sail once had SJ 24 at the top and...
That's what I figured and as far as being registered in any race official or otherwise your guess is as good as mine. The only other markings are the Clark C....
Dave, I know one of the mainsails, I believe it may be the one on it when you bought the boat, is not a Clark sail. I only saw it for a short time and I...

I've watched this video in the past. The design of the SJ34 is actually a modification of the Crown 34. In 1980 the Clark Boat Company bought the molds from...
