The plan is to reef the working jib before going offshore. Or, if the

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?


If heavy weather is predicted, a storm jib would be hanked on the
forestay. The roller furling mechanism is removed first.



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


Is that roller furling or roller reefing on the jib?


Roller furling.


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.


After I sail several times in 70 knots, I'll be able to give you a more
comprehensive description of the boat's sailing characteristics under
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.

Sure think Wally. Have a nice evening. Are you going sailing this
weekend? Or do you just enjoy spending your spare time sneering at
others who do?
