Nutsy,

Honestly, have you ever, in your whole life ever sailed with storm sail
in a storm?
If you haven't, please don't offer hearsay advice.

I have. One time. Do you know what my decision was? I decided to get
those damned useless sails off my boat, never to use them again. EVER!!

That was my conclusion. I couldn't make any progress up wind, to get
out of the storm and had to turn down wind and get the **** kicked out
of me sailing in the storm. I finally went bare pole and set a drogue,
Which got tossed into the cockpit when I got pooped

Honestly, have you ever, in your whole life ever sailed with storm sail
in a storm?

The advice is from the book, Heavy Sailing Tactics.
No, I've not had much experience with a Ketch, but I plan to get some soon!

Read the book again, and try to get the title right at least.

It's right in front of me. There a little pic of a the Jib and stormsail setup.

RB

And the title is? What is the bottom line conclusion?

That you were wrong.
Do you wish to debate sailing or book titles? Perhaps you'll have a measure of
success with the latter...
