I was wondering if anyone has sailed their passagemaker under mainsail alone. How does it perform on various points of sail using only the main? Does it create a problem with weather helm, or other issues?

I've sailed my PMD under main only when the wind picks up. I don't notice that much difference in points of sail. The big difference is speed! Putting the jib up is like turning on after-burners on this boat!! It flies!
Now for my standard plug: Come join us on the Passagemaker forum:

There is a ton of information there.
