now that I'm going down the road of getting a reefer furler, I'm also thinking it might be nice to have the option of a hanked sail As well. I've been racking my brain and thought of this scenario as an option. Basically an inner forestay that connects about 2 thirds up the mast and is stowed when not in use, ie shackled at the bottom of the mast To keep it out of the way on the foredeck. Limited room up there anyway on a Tophat. I'm also thinking of a self tacking system for this to limit sheets, and not have to have more cars.
Am i dreaming or is this a possibility? I think if it was set up right it would work really well potential maybe to be a great set up.
