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 Bloody Horvath wrote: Good question. I race boats, so I want the twin foil, and as many halyards as is possible. If you lose one or it breaks, you always need a spare. Same with the spin halyards. Okay. How many times do you change headsails during buoy races? My observation is that it's pretty rare. Distance racing is a whole 'nother can-o-worms but we aren't planning to do any. Spare spinnaker halyard(s) would be nice but I don't think it's going to happen with this mast. Frac rig, internal halyards... it's not a closely controlled one-design like a J-24, but there are limits to how many holes I can cut in the mast. DSK |
