Hope the attachment comes through. This is rigging guide that I use, tending
toward the middle of the pack. It is a survey of several boats from the
Chesapeake Bay crowd on the old Sailnet list, but most of the people
represented in the spreadsheet are here now and may have comments.

I had e-mailed a request for stay tension for a C-27TR. Any ideas?

Harvey,
I like your idea of a ring for handling my jib sails when the wind kicks up
and I get the joy of going forward to bend on something smaller. I have a
banana bag for my 135, but the work of using it while hobby horsing 4 or 5 feet
in the air has put me off changing head sails :)

Hi,
Possible solution for controlling a take down of a new stiff jib.
Make a ring about a foot or so in diameter from a soft wire, with a cable
clamp. Cover any outstanding wire ends with tape. Tether it to the pulpit.
As you take off the hanks, transfer them to the ring. This will give you
control over the sail when it is detached. Put a couple of bungee cords areound
the sail and stuff it down the forward hatch. Have your sail maker give you an
oversize sail bag. Your current bag is really sized to a flaked and rolled up
jib and will be too small for a couple of years. When you are back at the dock
you can stuff it in the new bag.
Sorry, not my original idea-originally thought from a round the world single
handed sailor-Dodge Morgan. He called it a spider. I'm trying to figure out
how to do it with a hank less furler jib.
Any ideas?
Hope this helps.
