Kedgeing Off With a Stayless Rig

Inquiring minds want to know, on a boat like a Freedom 44 (free standing carbon masts) can you use a halyard to pull off of a grounding? Any comments on Freedom 40 or 44s welcome. chippitcairn

I don't see why not. It sure is better than beating the hull to death.

Chip-

If the masts can take the loads generated by the sails, I don't see why they couldn't take the loads generated by using a kedge anchor.

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.
