No brewskis.....my head was still hurting from too much pineapple mix with the Dominican gasoline (rum) the night before. Straight rum is OK...it's the mix that get's you. The asymmetrical spinnaker (not a jib) was set flying....no hanks....just a tack...a clew....and a head. It did seem to work better set flying than pulled down tight to the deck. The luff was less likely to collapse that way. Howard On 7/29/04 4:07 PM, "Doug Kelch" <doug_kelch@yahoo.com> wrote:
Howard,
This is definitely counterintuitive.
If I understand what this is suggesting you set the jib flying (not hanked on forestay) with the tack a few feet off the deck on a tack line and it points better?
Did you consume a number of brewskis while setting this up?
The jib must sag off to Leeward quite a bit and this helps?
