brishel001 wrote:Thanks all, excellent advice and you all really have me thinking about the main (which I hadn't considered much before). Now that you all mention it, it does seem like when I'm sailing in winds say 6-12 knots especially on a reach, the main has a bit of a belly and I have to sheet the jib out more than would seem necessary to balance the main. I'll do some more research on blown out mains on this forum. Also great points of view on the hank-on vs furler head sail; definitely seems like the furler is loved by all but not critical. My main concern with the furler is compromising the ability to point into the wind, though I'm not sure if this is a red-herring or not.
