seems funny, just a year ago we did this trip.
as Brian said, many do double headsails. also, by hook or crook, sheet metal
screws/bolts whatever.
We ran a wisker pole for seven days without having to make a change.
the only breakage we had was the snap shacle on a garhauler vang.
lashed it back using the holes in the blocks on their design.
