Farr 400 test sailing with spin pole


We have tried something new with the Farr 400.  Adding a spinnaker pole for handicap racing under the ORCi rating system.  The idea was to be able to sail competitively in the range of 6-14 knots.  The 400, Sonnenkonig is sailing here on the first try in 8-9 knots of wind doing 7.75-8.6 knots at 158 true wind angle. We start racing today, Monday, June 24 in Punta Ala, Italy.  We will see how we go.  But at least in this condition it should be fast...
