Default f27 screacher importance?

Hello,
Was sailing on an f24mII. Found a screacher to be invaluable on it
especially since they don't come with a full jenoa. Had many uses. Could
sail fairly high in moderate winds if care was taken to make the halyard
tight with cap shroud adjusters. Sometimes even used it in a double head
sail config. Just bought an f27 corsair w/o screacher which does have a nice
genoa, working jib, blade, and asym spinnaker. Got some other upgrades to
do, so I must consider just how important is it to get a screacher?

Your opinions and anecdotes are appreciated.

I've had an F27 for four years now & the screacher is a great sail & many uses. If you have the standard bowsprit with a universal joint at the prow, make sure you have a support pole to the bowsprit tip. I made the mistake of lowering the sail to reduce windage while underway to windward. A wave bounced us and the bowsprit tilted down and put all in the water. Not recommended.
For more questions, email me at
Otherwise, a wonderful sail.
Leon
