Sails OK under main alone... tacking is the tricky part...
In Response To: How does your boat sail under main alone?

() just a bit of foresail helps bring the bow over. I've found on my Orion that main and staysail work quite well together and tacking becomes quite easy.
I need to check going hove to with that combination. Main and Jib going hove to didn't work all that well.
Main alone she sails well, but I have to be careful tacking and ensure I have good speed first.
