div.yiv2426177519WordSection1 {} #yiv2426177519 I mentioned reliability, not
speed. Both the sock and furler have their issues and get hung up once in a
while. As Bruno mentioned, they are also slower for the transitions than
traditional drops/hoists. Speed in changing sails isn’t as big of an issue
since I do more distance races. I am also typically shorthanded these days
(IE; 1-2 people) so nothing is fast. Some way to snuff does help that scenario
but it’s good practice to know how to douse the spin without those devices.
Let me know what the mast manufacturers suggest for adding a crane. My
solution isn’t pretty, but it’s worked well for 15 yrs I’m on Lake Superior
and we follow LMPHRF too. In the past they have struggled with rating boats
that change sail configurations like this, but their current solution seems
reasonable. PeteC&C37Bayfield, WI
