Default Self-tending jibs


"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
