Default MacGregor 26M - Valiant 40

The plan is to reef the working jib before going offshore. Or, if the
winds may be severe, to hank on a storm jib in place of the working
jib.


How do you hank a storm jib on when there's a roller furling mech in the
way? Does it have a second forestay for the purpose?


Depends on the degree of reef in the main and furling of the jib.


Is that roller furling or roller reefing on the jib?


Nope. You, again, have it bass ass backwards.


Stop talking crap - 70 knots is a hurricane and 100 miles offshore isn't
coastal cruising. The 26M is a beginner's boat and isn't built for such
conditions.


Of course, everyone recognized that you thought you were throwing me a
"gotcha." You intended to trip me up. But ultimately, YOU are the one
who demonstrated how stupid you really are.


I freely admit that I am a sweet, innocent, fresh-faced n00b. Unlike you, I
don't come in here spouting irrational, badly-argued garbage while making a
bunch of ridiculous claims.

You're a troll, or a moron, or a moronic troll, or a trolling moron. Pick
one.
