This page contains links to Iroquois Sailing Instructions, following a message from a previous Webmaster….
DISCLAIMER
Please note that the following is reproduced verbatim from the Autumn 1982 and Spring 1983 newsletters, and was written before there was the instant recourse to litigation prevalent today. As a consequence, this disclaimer is now offered to remind skippers of their over-riding responsibility and duty of care to their crews that cannot be abrogated by blaming suggestions offered by third parties.
The following articles were written by sailors who were designing, building, equipping and sailing their boats for racing, and the Iroquois can be sailed very hard indeed. However at this limit disaster can be but an instant away, and what may be risked by a fully-crewed racing skipper with the mainsheet in his hand would not be prudent for a short-handed cruising skipper with sheets cleated and autopilot on. These articles, especially the section on sail setting, should be taken as suggestions only, and must not be taken as recommended sail areas for particular winds. Remember, it is always the skipper’s responsibility to sail within his or her own abilities, and those of their crew, according to the conditions and their boat. Webmaster
