Follow us at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheFlyingPigLog and/or http://groups.google.com/group/flyingpiglog "Believe me, my young friend, there is *nothing*-absolutely nothing-half so much worth doing as simply messing, messing-about-in-boats; messing about in boats-or *with* boats. In or out of 'em, it doesn't matter. Nothing seems really to matter, that's the charm of it. Whether you get away, or whether you don't; whether you arrive at your destination or whether you reach somewhere else, or whether you never get anywhere at all, you're always busy, and you never do anything in particular; and when you've done it there's always something else to do, and you can do it if you like, but you'd much better not." "Capt. JG" wrote in message easolutions... This is also true in wing-on-wing situations with a regular jib or jenny. There's little force on the jib if it's either full or collapsed, but when the wind picks up, you can get a fairly hefty shock load on the sheet and it can wrap the headstay if it's out in front of the stay and collapses. -- "j" ganz @@ www.sailnow.com |
