Hello and welcome to the Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States podcast.  This is part 3 of a 3 part series on solo sailing. In this episode, Mike and I talk about managing your sails solo.  We talk about tacking, gybing, reducing sail, and deploying your sails.  For each of these, there is a key “discovery” that makes it go smoothly. Make sure you listen to the complete episode for some other important tips as well.  Also, be on the lookout for parts 1 and 2 of this solo sailing series.  In part 1 we talk about docking and in part 2 we discuss anchoring and mooring solo.
