Because there are all too many sailors, Booby for example,
who pretend to sail so they can think they are impressing
others viewing from a distance. Many are also ignorant
as to the COLREGS and think if they have a sail up they
are a sailboat and have the right of way over other traffic.

If it's a wind up jenny why is it left flapping?

Light air performance? Gimme a break with that!

I bet NONE of these wannabe sailors around here
do anything in light air but crank up the motor.

I've yet to see any diesel sailboat sailing at one
or two knot. To the boat they use the iron jenny
with a wind-up jenny flapping in the apparent
breeze.

Unless you race, Mylar is not worth the money
and maintenance problems.

Superior light air performance. 40% amortized over the life of the sail is
zilch.
Also look at resale value.

Why? I am not a racer, they cost about 40% more than dacron, what do I get
for my money?
