![]() "N1EE" wrote in message om... What are the advantages and disadvantages of a self-tending jib? Are you referring to self-tacking jobs? What rig design makes these most effective? I'd assume that threy need to be fractional to work at all. Do you know of any production sloops designed with a self tending jib? Dehler 41. A very nice boat indeed. I was overtaken by one during the Round the Island race about 4 years ago. The only thing that I don't like about the current Dehlers is the enormous steering wheel. I worry about what would happen in an emergency if there were only two people aboard. Regards Donal -- |
