To snub or not to snub
"Scotty" w@u wrote in message ... "Capt. JG" wrote in message ... "Maxprop" wrote in message ink.net... Yup. Memorial Day, can't recall the year. But we got a lesson about docklines that night. Also got a lesson about securing genoa sheets and tying a keeper line around the rolled genny. I don't put a line around the rolled jib, you should. Anybody with a roll-up jib is too stupid in the first place to do things right. Nothing screams "stupid, inept wannabe" like a roll-up jib. Get rid of that roll-up crap, use hank-on headsails and be a real sailor for once. The only thing more stupid looking than a roll-up headsail on a sailboat is a roll-up headsail on a Mac26.

Now you have to go forward to release it before you can use your jib. All you have to do with a roller jib is to put enough turns on the drum so that you can roll a turn or two of the sheets on top of the sail. Make sure the sheets are properly cleated and all is secure and the sail can be unrolled instantly when you want it. |

. .. Ed, it is good advice to tie an extra line around a RF sail when leaving the boat for a while. Many, many, many ( Many,many,many) sails that have been shredded could have been saved.

Seen it... never happened to me, mainly because until recently, my jib was not on a furler. :-) -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

That's the way sails are supposed to be taken care of. Not wound up around the head stay and out in the elements when not being used. Wilbur Hubbard |
