    Sandy: Gees, don't cut your sail... if you make it to Chesapeake Bay
    you'll need all the cloth you can put up.... otherwise you'll be using your
    engine a lot here.

    I sailed here for years with just a yankee jib ... now that I have a
    larger jib I am much happier.
    Yes, you will have too much for some areas ... especially in the southern
    Caribbean where the trades blow.
    You can always reef or furl. But if you ain't got the cloth you can't go in
    light air.
