Subject: Two jibs
In reply to: Steve Cox 's message, "Staysail for an M-32" on - Wednesday - 07/19/06 - 2:56pm

Steve, I installed an inner club footed jib on our boat "Maranatha". The out jib is an roller reefed yankee jib which is clewed high, and the inner being the club footed one. The greatest andvanage to this set up is center of gravity. the two sails lower the center of gravity with out reducing the sq. feet. so in a good blow in the fall here in New England I sail with these two and maintain footage, and speed. In light wind I can remove the bottom of the inner stay sail cable and put up our 150% genny.I have aluminum spars so the attachment on the mast was easy to install. I had this piece welded before I had all my spars painted with emron paint.This arrangment makes it easy to reduce sail also in a blow, I roll in the yankee and sail with the club footed jib, and then reduce the main next if.. well I hope this answers your question! Take care, Jake
