Help me find the post plz: How to tame a runaway sail
Giu posted instructions a year ago on how to recovery a runaway genoa and a runaway main using halyards, along with diagrams. I'm creating an emergency binder for my boat and I'd like to include the descriptions. Does anyone have a link to them? I tried searching on various things for a while, but since Giu has made so many posts and contributed so much I can't find the post!

Thanks!

Chris

Chris-

Look here and here. One is for the mainsail, the other for the genoa.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
