In winds above 10 knots we usually run wing-and-wing with our 100 percent lapper set on a whisker pole opposite the mainsail. As the wind drops, we get out the drifter and set it flying to leeward (Fig. 1).

After trying a variety of light-wind sails, we've found the most versatile and simple one to be a nylon drifter.

Some people recommend a medium- to lightweight 140- or 150-percent headsail, and others go for a drifter/reacher.

However, sensing the available traction may actually be more important to a drifter.

For professional drifters looking for even more fine-tuning of their suspension setups, some companies offer more advanced two-way adjustable shocks(..)

While this method is used by a few drifters in rear-wheel drive cars, this technique is really the only way one can drift in a front-wheel drive car.
