Re: JIB OR GENOA?

I prefer hanked-on sails, because of the amount of trailering that I do. It's a lot easier to get the mast up and down, especially at my age (77). I do have a 26M mast raiser for my 26X. I carry a jib, Genoa, and spinnaker. When I'm by myself I just fly the jib, in addition to the mains'l.
The suggestion that I would make to customers is if you are going to be doing a lot of trailering, get hanked-on sails. If you are going to keep your boat in the water, maybe get RF.
I run the halyards aft to rope clutches next to the winches. The only thing that I use a winch for is to tighten up my hammock on the foredeck.
I run the sheets aft to my EZ-Cleats on the track.
PS: The ones from blu otter yots are not the same as my EZ-Cleats.
