Can you drag down a roll up under a heavy load?


Yes...and I have done it...
, the bolt track with
thousands of pounds of pressure along the whole track is like a brake
in a brake drum. A full flogging set of sails is a real drag.


It's a drag whether it's a roll up or a hank on in thos conditions...

Every crusing boat should have a storm jib and main. The P40 that
took off crusing next to me had a bullet proof set made in
international orange.

Let's hope they are still in a raft and get picked up soon.


Now I agree with you there.... hoping for the best.


Ditto that...
