Seamanship Question #1
Let go the jib sheet Bring the main near middle traveler position and
get a much Leech tension as possible. Mainsheet, vang lazy jacks,jumper
stays (If available). Get the Jib down
Then on "Pneuma" I have enough tail on my topping lift to go thru the
low rail on my stern pulpit and back to a Jenny Winch to re-tension the
main. Then I'd set-up a Barber haul to make it a semi-permanent
back-stay and sail home.
