I have twin jib halyards and am planning to replace a headstay luff
foil. The twin foil has some advantages but is more bulky, I'm not sure we will ever need to swap headsails on the fly. Another issue is the spinnaker halyard.... singular. This is a frac- rigged boat and the spinnaker halyard is run to a swivel block at the hounds then up to a thru-block just below the mast head. I've been thinking of taking the swivel block off and setting a masthead spinnaker, then mounting another thru-block at the hounds and re- routing the starboard jib halyard to become a second frac spinnaker halyard. Any opinions about the utility of these two configurations: 1- twin jib halyards, twin luff foil on headstay, single spinnaker halyard vs 2- single jib halyard, single luff foil on headstay, masthead spinnaker + frac spinnaker halyards Fresh Breezes- Doug King |
