Hi all,
Interesting idea about using a power drill. Have you done it?
Marc - do you have a lanyard or similar to take the torque reaction or do
you just hold the drill?
I have a 500+ square foot genoa on my catamaran - it's a pain to grind in
because the inner staysail means it takes forever to blow through and then
there is a lot of sheet to handle.
Having a good double handle winch handle helps a lot, but short tacking up a
channel is a real workout, with Andersen 46 self tailers.
