Cruising downwind with our favorite sail combo, the "Spin jib" rig.  With this sail combo our main is lowered and furled to the boom.  The main halyard is fastened to the end of the boom providing a backstay to help stabilize the mast in case we get hit with strong winds before we have time to roll up the code zero spinnaker.  Makes for an incredibly smooth ride surfing down waves with the auto pilot rarely moving the steering wheel.  It's downwind all the way from the Virgins to Florida a wonderful trip if you ever get the chance.
