Re: Micro alternative sail plan
Have you considered Cynthia J.? See the material in Files. You might
also consider the Catfish and the Chebacco.
PCB has written that the Chebacco would be faster with a cat rig, but
would be more difficult to sail due to inablility to self-steer, etc.
Same for Micro, I'm sure.

Greetings,
While I admit that the Micro design is "growing on me", I still have
reservations about the need for a second sail aft. Has anyone built a micro
and used a single Cat boat setup or a jib?
Second question: How long does it take you experienced Micro sailors to set up
from the time the trailer hits the marina until the mast is up and the sails
are ready to raise? I have a Catalina 22 in the back yard that I am
considering selling ($1400) because stepping the mast is too much of a
production for day sailing the mountain lakes I sail.
Now if I could just find a way to get an effective water ballast into the
design rather than trailering that lead keel.......

Jim
