: He says I'm chicken. Nothing is "chicken" about being smart. Now he's talking about singlehanding, and that's crazy. His IS crazy....you may quote me. We do have all roller furling so that we can handle all the sails from the cockpit and don't need to go on deck except to anchor or come in to a dock. I never works that way....and shouldn't be PLANNED to work that way. Lionheart's roller furling takes place at the bottom of the mast, not aft in the cockpit. I don't think I'd want to do it any other way because from the cockpit you can't see it's all going wrong before the damned thing is jammed, which I can see from right under the roller before it becomes a problem and can roll it back out to clear it. Planning on worst case scenario, you must be setup to go forward in heavy weather to clear the inevitable crash of these systems. Rosalie is the smart one aboard....STAND Your ground, girl! You got it right and SAFE! Larry -- VIRUS ALERT! VISTA has been released! NOONE will be spared! |
