Deck Gear & Sails

Tamarisk is cutter-rigged. She sails with a mainsail, furling genoa, and a staysail. She ghosts beautifully in light air, amazing for a boat of her weight. For cruising, we sail her mostly with the genoa on broad or beam reaches, and use the staysail for heavy weather. With the right wind, even the mainsail goes up.
She also has an electric windlass, with manual backup, along with plenty of SS Barient winches to set her sails (see specifications). She has 3/8" SS lifelines all around.
