Graham Payne, April 2007

We used both spinnaker and twin running headsails on "Galatea" Obviously the spinnaker was faster, but the handling advantages of the twins won the day. For Éowyn we have opted for a dedicated twistle rig made by Ratsey and Lapthorne sailmakers and Dennis Maidment. This comprises 2 x 130J Yankees and a special arrangement of 2 poles connected by a universal joint and supported by an uphaul and downhaul - not connected to the mast! -
