Dear Stephan,

I have the ATN sail and as you mentioned it is a little cumbersome. Next time I will keep it in the cockpit locker instead of the sail locker. It gets a little wet up there. I had my sailmaker add a foam luff and UV protection to my genoa. The foam luff makes a big difference when the sail is furled, Fair winds, Eric SM 376 Kimberlite.

Upwind, we are happiest with our ATN storm jib plus a little mizzen to balance the sail plan. If you use the Genoa in these conditions you will have to reef pretty deep and the sail shape not so good. Off the wind, we have used the ATN and at other times, the genoa reefed to whatever point it takes to keep boat speed in control. Both work. A note on the ATN storm gib. Like reefing, put this sail up when you first think about it. It is a little uncomfortable attaching this sail in heavy weather.
