Disadvantages. It is not quite so easy to tack but as we get used to operating the system we are learning fast and are getting better with each one.
Can you describe the 'tack' maneuver in more detail?

Which way are you rotating the mast? all together?

I believe I have seen a reference to the masts being able to rotate 360 degrees and another indicating only 180 degrees??
