headsail furlers -the good, the bad and the ugly...sound off!
I still don't understand why you don't have a pre-feeder. It's
probably more important on a cruiser than on a race boat where there
would usually be more crew on board and less actual need for one.
You can buy one that works just fine for about $20. Even when changing
sails at the dock before going out, it's a big help. What is the
downside that makes you resist having one?
Because I only hoist the jib once a year in spring and lower it again in
autumn
