• What happens if you leave your roller furling jib on in a TS?
  • It goes with the wheel
    • That's a bit harsh, don't you think?
    • I represent that......FWIW..
      • Holy shit Nat, are you out of your mind?
        • Wow!
          • Steve, relax......my decision was sound...
            • You made a reasonable decision...
              • You can stop mooring pennant from wrapping the chain
              • Double pennant...
                • Thanks Nat..
            • Nat, sorry it took so long to respond but
              • Steve, nope, no hard feelings....
      • Some experience - sails seldom unfurl!
    • Are you out of your mind?
  • Roller furling
    • Are you sure it was RF that caused the damage?
      • Hurricane Marty, MdLP and RF...
  • DQOTD...
    • Time
    • You would be surprised at the number of people...
    • Time is not the issue for me - space for storage?
    • Thirty seconds to drop both...
    • The drop is one thing, dealing with the sail is time consuming.
      • What convinced me was sitting in 50 knots and hearing what sounded like machine gun fire.
        • My Alberg 35 used to sail around quite a bit while at anchor
        • A few years ago?
    • It took me about an hour and a half each way...
