ACE has a lot of trouble downwind in light air (<5 knots) because her spinnaker is fractional and doesn't have the sail area.
We ordered a oversized spinnaker from Durk Steigenga in Nova Scotia.
We will take a rating hit with it, but it will make up for it when the winds are light (which seems to be a LOT).
Here is a picture of the 1,000 sq ft spinnaker in Durk's garage/sail loft
Durk is now starting to work on a new asymmetric chute for big Still Time.
