Finally had a chance to give my Folbot Greenland II and the Twins sail rig Folbot advocates for it a wring-out. Ripped along for about 13 miles in a 10 knot tailwind, with fully-developed following seas. Worked fine, though the bow dips into the back of the swell ahead of the one the G II is riding on. Felt a little dicey, like it might broach if the wind/sea got a little fiercer. Wondering what the practical limit is for this arrangement. Anybody done it in a 20 knot tail wind with a fully developed following sea? 30 knots?
