to the forum,
was looking for any feedback about putting an F25 with rotating winged spar on a mooring or anchor, will the winged spar sail the boat, with no sail when it sits on a mooring or anchor?
if yes can the boat be set up so it will be fine at anchor or on a mooring?
cheers,
yarrow

Re: winged F25, on mooring or anchor ?'s
Yes, It will sail around when there is wind, and especially if the current is not aligned with the wind. However, most catboats sail around, wing , or not. My experience with Nonsuch 30 and 33 is the basis for my opinion. You could try a small riding sail strung between the boom end, rear rail, and the fitting for the cockpit table on the inside of the transom.
May I suggest that, if you haven't already, you replace the puny bow chocks that came with the F-25 with larger ones that will accomodate realistic mooring pennants, and some chafing gear.
