. All one
needs to do to change sails is to lower the working jib,

unsnap the
tack, snap on the storm jib tack, snap the halyard off the

jib and onto
the head of the storm sail, untie and transfer the sheets,

stuff the jib
into the bag and unclip the working jib hanks. Then snap

on the storm
jib hanks and haul away on the halyard and you're done.


That sounds like an awful lot of work. All I have to do is
pull on the roller line, from the safety of my cockpit.
