Re: Stus-List Original Rig, (was US Watercraft receivership)

Agreed on the stack pack.  We've just had ours a couple months,  but the main 
is so much easier to deal with that we go out more often, and with less stress. 
 Especially on our new (to us) bigger boat, it's really nice to head up to the 
wind, release the main halyard and have the sail drop into the stack pack.  No 
muss, no sail flaking, no putting the cover on.
Kindest Regards,

Years of racing J24s, J30s & Etchells, never thought I'd have a furler.  Now a 
little older, wiser and sporting a Stackpack too. 
Not the fastest setup, but still finding a way to win club races. And my wife 
and I can be off the mooring and sailing in minutes. Put-away is just as quick. 
I am sure we use our boat many times more than those around us just because it 
is so easy. No sail- folding arguments either!
Enjoy!

Grenadine's rig and deck hardware is all-original, old-school. No furler, lazy 
jacks, self-tailing winches, rope clutches. My crew has to grind and tail and 
cleat to horn cleats, and flake sails manually. For two years they didn't know 
any better because they're newbies :) But one of them jumped on a shorthanded 
competitor's boat the other week and came back jealous of his furler and 
self-tailing winches. In defense I had to explain how much it would cost to 
upgrade :) I'd rather spend the money on new sails. While I can appreciate the 
merits of all those conveniences especially for leisure sailing, for racing I 
like being able to make a last-minute headsail choice right before leaving the 
dock, or even changing the headsail on the fly. 

Cheers,
