Default problems with gaff rigs?

It is antiquated. It is too heavy aloft. It has too much weather helm when the wind gets up. It is
much harder to reef. It requires more running rigging. Only stupid people would go gaff instead

It's pretty clear you've never sailed a gaff rig.

Hah.

All you are is a handful of acerbic bytes on the net. You hide your
identity so that you can pretend to be a competent human being, but
it's still obvious that you're not. Your opinion is completely
worthless.

I'd suspect you'd loooooove junk rigs then.


And be just as incompetent with one of those, as with a gaff.
