Trade wind sailing

The next big spet is prepare Belle with a reliable and easy to handle sail wardrobe, The basics are a spare mainsail and jib but to face long passages using the trade winds I need to focus on smart downwind sail that alow me to sail sail easier more efficiently also safer. As usual made an extensive research how coul I sail downwind shorthanded without needing to use a pole and a sinakker. I come upon One sails and theyrs IFS™ (Integrated Furling Structure), that alowed me to use fuling system to easely deploy and retrieve a flying sail without leaving the safety of the cockpit and with just one hand. One sails designed also the inovative multi Tradewind Sail a twing an evolution of the traditional twin-headsail system. with furling simplicity, with great efficiency and easy control in long-distance downwind sailing.This alows for afast and intuitive operation fast and intuitive operation improving significantly my safety on long passages without the need for complex sail changes or even leaving the safety of the cockpit.

My first stop after entering the Med will be in Palma de Mallorca to visit PeterBresnan from One Sails Palma, to ask advices about the best sail configuration for Belle taking in account my phisical limitations and hopefully try the ONESAILS IFS Multi Tradewind Sail in Belle and check if I could handle it myself despite my disabilitie.
