Hi All I am considering converting from a headstay foil to hanked on
headsails. I know that one drawback is having to do bare-headed jib
changes on races with long upwind legs. My other concern is getting
tears or pulls in the spinnaker during takedowns. We almost always do
windward takedowns and it seems that when we come into the leeward
mark on a reach, the spinnaker collapses behind the jib and gets
dragged around the forestay during the takedown. I am worried that
the hanks might damage the kite. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Dan Pruzan Wile E Coyote |
