Amazing, I have always thought the exact same thing about reefed roller
furling jibs and I''m too inexperienced to know what I''m talking about. Let''s see, decide between living and good sail shape. Well hmmmm...
However, this leads me to a question of my own (refer to "inexperienced" comment above). My Hunter 26, which I purchased used, came equipped with CDI roller
furling. The only thing I use the
jib halyard for is raising and lowering the mast; it is not attached to the
jib in any way, nor did the previous owner (not a pro himself) have it attached to the
jib. Is that correct? I am not in a position to change
jibs at the moment, not having a second
jib, but I still want to have my boat rigged correctly.
Thanks
Susan
