Hi Premed, yes. Non camber sails go "neutral" when not loaded and therefor are light in the sail flip. Camber sails are much heavier and always keep their profile which will make them powered up as soon as there is any apparent wind. Besides that the camber sails have a lager foot which makes it more difficult to get around while "ducking" (switching sides). I recommend learning the duck jibe preferably with non camber sail with a relative high foot if that is possible. Of course if you only have camber sails don't let it hold you back and just go for it!! Have fun and... See you on the water!!
Excellent video!
Hi Barry,
Thank you!
Great to hear!
Don't you just love that feeling of a nice smooth duck jibe?
Have fun and...
See you on the water!
Do cam sails make the duck Jibe harder than the normal Jibe?
