I second that, and if I think it’s going to be stormy in my absence I also double up the mooring lines.

I do that, plus several wraps around the sail with the sheets and also secure the furling line with a proper cleat hitch around a cleat. That sucker is not unfurling without me doing it. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: CnC-List <[email protected]> on behalf of Shawn Wright via CnC-List <[email protected]> Sent: January 8, 2020 6:33 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Cc: Shawn Wright <[email protected]> Subject: Re: Stus-List Spreader Bracket All this talk has my thinking I should double up on my furler lines. I tie a quick loop knot around the final blocks mounted at the cockpit so I can just pull the loop to release them. The line is also flaked and hung from the stern rain, but that's probably not going to save me should the knot come free. I also do two wraps of the sheets around the furler. I think I'll add a more secure knot at the final block to be safe. -- Shawn Wright [email protected] S/V Callisto, 1974 C&C 35 https://www.facebook.com/SVCallisto th -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- _______________________________________________ Thanks everyone for supporting this list with your contributions.
