Default Lessons of a tragedy....Roller furlers suck

Having a hanked on a 25% on that did not need reefing in high winds.

This would have required planning that he was obviously incapable of doing.

And I guess having one of those magic forestays that can
have a sailed hanked onto it from the cockpit would help a
lot, too.

Thinking ahead, then relying on near fail proof equipment next.

Yes.... in that order.

Only this loser probably had 140 on his furler as his
only headsail.

He could have rigged a downhaul for his jib. I've heard
of people doing that, but I've never seen anyone using
such a system.
