76Trombones said @ 2011-06-29 11:09:56:
A well-sailed square rigger can be more manoeuverable than a fore-aft rigged vessel. The sails on the different masts can be braced around independently, so you
have side-to-side thrust available even with no steerage way. Fore pushing bow to port, mizzen pushing stern to stb, rudder ready to back stern to stb etc... The closest a modern rig can get is backing the jib, but in most boats it's pretty much a momentum affair.

Not super snappy though! Sails could be hauled up, or struck and reset, rigging re-led...
Yeah ok I had considered that - we use sails in manouvers all the time, especially mark roundings to minimise rudder usage ;-)
I just thought, 60-60 is a long way to go at <6kn BS! Although I guess the momentum of these things would gigantic aswell, but surely they also have a rig type that provides the most drag ?

Still what you describe is not a tack, if the fore sails are braced to provide side thrust then the boat is not passing head to wind ??

Red Eye - Key Lime Pie-gatta 2025

Opposite the Bahamas at the tip of the Florida peninsula, we find the Florida Keys, a honky-tonk arpeggio of islands, where another SOL classic, the Key Lime Pie-gatta, so-called after the famous local condensed-milk-based tart speciality, awaits to be navigated once again. We’ll race its “Red Eye” 180nm in very-American Santa Cruz 52s, ignoring such artefacts as bridges, causeways and piers joining the keys one to the other and to the mainland!

Sail Around Turkey 2025


Welcome to the 11th running of one of Sailonline's most iconic races, where our fleet races the length of the Turkish coastline from Hopa (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Black Sea coast) to Iskenderun (the easternmost harbour on Turkey’s Mediterranean coast). It’s a 1,372nm race and aboard our classic, 1st decade of the 21st Century, version 2 IMOCA 60, you should be able to get around the course in less than a week. That is if, of course, once you get out of the Black Sea you don’t stop to enjoy the sights or a BBQ or two in the Golden Horn, or on the Marble Islands, now land-locked Troy or Gallipoli or any of the myriad Aegean islands, that you shall have to carefully navigate past.
