This is why I have never taken the boat out alone, getting someone to go with me is sometimes a challenge.
North Texas is not a sailers paradise.
This was my number one priority this season - to setup a safe way of steering into wind and lowering the main quickly. I can now lower the mainsail without leaving the cockpit and it comes down fast and easy. It is a new mainsail so that helps too.
