Subject: Absolutely #4 or storm jib?
Info: (25854 views) Posted: Monday 3-2-09 10:37:30 AM
I have a storm jib too but rarely use it. When its really windy I lead the 75% 3/4 host four to the rail. Once in the Gulf of Farallons series I used a rail led 4 and first main reef. It's rare , , , but nice to have the small working jib.
