Ya follow me? Say a 100% on both forestays.

Roll up the forward sail to where it won't interfer and tack on the
foresail attached to your jib boom...then let out the foresail when the
tack is nearly completed....


I'd rather feed it around by hand then risk roll up failure at sea,
no jib boom...yet.
Guess I could use block and tackle from the bow to the fore foresail
clew in the same way.
