Well, as others have said:
1) It costs the same to extrude 2 grooves as one. 2) When racing you make a headsail change by running the new jib up on the free groove then lowering the old sail. Remember to match the halyard to the groove, port to port and starboard to starboard or you will twist your halyards. 3) Sure you can raise a second jib without using the upper swivel but you will not be able roll either jib in this configuration. You need to lower the second jib to roll the first. 4) I like hanks but good roller furling has been well tested and is pretty durable. Good luck "Don White" wrote in message ... Steve wrote: Wow!
