2024年9月8日 · I'm considering this recut/repurpose for reaching in winds that are too high or close for the A3 (15-20+) when racing. In such conditions, we're likely to have been using the no.3 or no.4 jib to get to the mark. Also potentially for offshore. I have the furler & all necessary hardware available plus the old no.1.

2025年2月9日 · It feels like we do many hours of jib-reaching every season. I'm old enough to remember IOR days when we always carried a jib top (high-clewed) reaching sail because it was just so much faster- allowing the main to ease & without squeezing the slot, while more of the jib was working, rather than the top being twisted way off like an eased 155% ...

2007年4月1日 · Thats because you would find a jibtop on a square rigged vessel. Someone's fucking with you. Umm no, a Jib Top is also a high clew Genoa very effective for reaching, especially reaching offshore in big waves. Check out this link and you can read all about Trans Pac 52s using Jib Tops...

2005年7月15日 · The R33 carries a full battened working jib hanked onto the forestay, a r/f jib reacher, a r/f screacher, and an assym spinnaker. The main is roller reefed around the boom, just like a corsair, and the jib also has two reef points. The boat has been sailed in 35+ knots on a number of occasions, deep reef the main, and put a reef in the jib.

2022年8月12日 · Area of jib topsail 370sq. ft. Area of lower sails 1342sq. ft. While her record entitles her to be called a racing boat, Shadow has been used by all her owners as a cruising craft, and she has good accommodations for a boat of her type.

2017年9月29日 · The photo in #1,927 appears to show just over a foot or so of line before the jib top halyard is two blocked, so if the downhaul is adjustable they could raise it a bit more, but not much. The whole capstan project was an amazing feat in itself, but looks way too big and clunky to my eyes, and I would have preferred to see a smaller, more ...

2008年7月10日 · One and a Half Rig? We all know what a double head rig looks like, but this one on the big Wylie design Rage in the Pacific Northwest is something short of that! An odd combination or a breakthrough? 07/10/08 This is reference to the picture, with One and a half rig? under it. Sorry dont...

2016年9月27日 · The 54 yr old Mizzen Staysail that came from the "Frederick E Hood" loft in Marblehead has earned a gracious retirement. Looking for thoughts on what to replace it with, style, cut and material. I see two general sails: one for moderate reaching, TWA 70-110 or so, and deep reaching, TWA...

2021年9月21日 · inner jib (lowish clew 100% to bow, approx 3/4 hoist) Outer jib (high clew 100% from end of bowspirit, hoist approx 50 cm up from inner but still very fractional) Topsail (hoisted on the masttop stay, but foot around 2 meters from the low point of the stay) We also fly a mizzen staysail for aestetic reasons.
