Hi ,
I uploaded two new videos on youtube. On the first one you can see how our mast is bending. There is significant intentional twist on the main because of strong wind. We had to furl the jib soon after this. The speed was then 7.5 knots upwind with the main only.

On the other video you may see some overall appeareance of our boat. There is lots of main sheet . We changed the main sheet to 1:2 and installed extra tying points both for the sheet to attach and for tying up purposes. I think it wprks now better. It is easier to handle winches now with the main sail only, forces are lower.
