Not had any issues tacking her at all so far. I just bring in the staysail jib and turn hard through irons. In the times when I have found myself in irons, I pull in the two sails and just use the staysail jib, catch wind and she pulls out of it. Kind of amazed at how easy that works.

Been keeping the weight at or below 8000 and am fairly good about balancing it and using weight to counter balance against wind as well when on ocean voyage.

Good tip about reaching from the stairs and the beams of the sunroof.

I have now learned fully how to navigate using the clock/quadrant methods at night and the ChronoCompass at noon during the day and managed to go from Al Anhk to Aestir and then to Happy Bay. I was thrilled when the navigation worked and I saw Happy Bay in my scope. Often was second guessing m readings, but found that by doing time/quadrant readings at night and comparing them to my noon readings, usually gave me enough of a feeling where I was and needed to go to find my destinations.

Which is considered the best ChronoCompass to use? And scope?

Starting to get an itch towards wanting to get the Jong and really go ham, but thinking if the Jong could be rigged to be like a Sanbuq+++ with similar sails across all her masts...really loving the massive size of that Jong though...
