Two head sails
Joe, there is nothing wrong with Wilbur's (Neil's) advice.
I do the same thing when flying a cruising Spin off a short sprit on Matilda. Just make sure there are no burrs on your hanks nor hairs on your stays. I'm sure my cruising spin is much more "snagable" than your foresails, and I haven't hooked it yet in 6 years of running it that way. BTW, I don't use a tacking line, I just let the wind push the spin thru the slot in a controlled fashion. Even in light air the clue follows around the stay nicely. Your boat/sails are bigger/heavier so YMMV. I envy you the adventure you are embarking on. Much Good Luck Regards, JR Matilda 20 Strongly suggest you don't follow his advice too closely... Neal probably hasn't sailed in years. What's wrong with his advice? Joe -- "j" ganz - Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - |

Great job on the ports Joe, she looks more like a "classic sea boat" than
with the larger "window" type ports. Regards, JR "Joe" wrote in message oups.com... On Aug 5, 1:40 pm, "JR" wrote: Oh, Sowwy. JR "Joe" wrote in message ups.com...
