impossible but true

wind was dropping to 4-5 knots
we didn't make any progress any more
jan had a brilliant idea, why not use 3 sails in stead of 2
hmmm, weird idea and definately not designed todo so

we tried it anyhow

we mounted the code0 sail behind the jib, very weird construction

now comes the weirdest part, it works

we are doing 7.5 knots in virtually no wind, our estimate 4-5 knots of wind maximum.

we know have 155 m2 sail on the boat.

some fotos to demonstrate the weird setup:
