My preference is to have a roller furler on a staysail.
You can have RF and the boom, Bart. RB 35s5 NY |

He and his son won the Double-Handed Farallone's with it. I've used them on Hanse's and the system works well--any you can put a big Genoa for the light air days. I only miss the Genoa when sailing down wind. A spinnaker would fix that. |

My only experience with them was with boats that seemed to have very narrow tracks athwartships. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |

Have you sailed the Alerion 28? It works very well on that boat. And
I'm sure it can work well on others. RB 35s5 NY |

Or maybe you simply don't know enough about sailing to recognize the difference between the Hoyt boom and a plain ol' staysail boom. As it happens, I have sailed an Alerion; the Hoyt boom is neat but it takes up a lot of room on & under the foredeck. Personally, I wouldn't recommend, unless on a much bigger boat.

you simply don't know enough about sailing to recognize the difference between the Hoyt boom and a plain ol' staysail boom. Sigh. They are both types of staysail booms as the Hoyt Jib boom can be used for staysails. Don't believe that, Doug??? You can find them on Island Packet boats for example, such as the newer 350. But if ads are all that matter to you, then IP calls it "The Hoyt Boom equipped Staysail." Check it out, dummy! I oughta know, Doug. I actually work with this stuff while you read Cruising World. I'm working on a project now using the system on a Tayana. I've sailed the 28 and had no issue with the deck space used. The 28's design goal was not to have anyone on the foredeck anyway. There aren't even any lifelines on most hulls. You've been busted again, Doug. RB 35s5 NY |

The boat is marketed to clueless noobs that can't
or are afraid to fly a spinnaker. Say, that would be a good boat for you Swabbie! Sigh...ho hum. The Alerion 28 is hardly marketed to anyone "clueless." It's a fairly high end daysailor and weekender for the more "mature" sailor. Mark Plough over at Doyle (NY and FL) had one for a while and he's a tad more knowledgable than you fellas when it comes to sailboats. Doug was wrong, as usual. Then again, he can argue with my vendor if he wants. BTW, Bart....I'm sailing tomorrow with a few friends at 1:00. 150 City Island Ave. Left side, just past the school. I'm on channel 77. Or tell the dockmaster you're there for Bob Brody and I'm on K dock near the end. Looks like plenty of wind. You can also email me in the morning if you really want to come and I'll buzz you. I don't think I'm too far from you, maybe 60-90 minute drive? RB 35s5 NY |
