Predeterminado Respuesta: Toldos para veleros pequeños (navegando)

es que me creí lo que ponía el autor del artículo...

"Sea trials yesterday. We rowed and sailed with the mizzen set and the awning up for most of the day. What an amazing difference under the awning. It actually feels like a cool breeze is blowing. It doesn't seem to affect the sailing either (although with just the mizzen set aft I don't expect much) we usually row/sail in light air anyway just to keep moving. Heaving to worked well, with the only difference being the boat fore-reaching rather than the usual head up and fall off behaviour. The setup didn't seem to interfere with the mizzen snotter and the mizzen can still be released past 90 degrees to spill the wind, though I'd strike the awning long before the wind picked up.

It's pretty cool when a prototype works out well on the first try."
