How easy is the Stratos CB version to sail single handed? Will I need to fatten up from my 80Kg to balance the boat?

Does it sail well with just the main?

Hi Pete,

I have a Keel so I don't have balance problems with my 60Kg, but what I can tell you is that you won't be able to beat without the jib.

Regards,
Pascal

I am 67kg and sail my CB version in winds up to force 4. At force 3 or less I use all three sails. However, I must admit it is hard work and much playing of the main is required and of course every now and again I capsize.
