SAILING SIX METERS


Sailing 6 meter "Madcap" designed by Frederick Hoyt in 1924. Perhaps the smallest 6 meter ever, which entitles her to more sail area than she can handle except in light air.
Today was an odd day the wind never filled from the southwest despite the sun. A southeast breeze pushed the fog into the bay and over the land.
The starting line had been set for SW and when the wind shifted we could not cross the line on starboard tack.
The boat proved to be quick.

Please let me know about sailing 6 meters. The cockpits seem very confining and I wondered if this was a tad uncomfortable.
