Yo, J.  I'm not putting words in your mouth.  I was just making some 
observations.

I'm not telling you what to do, either.  I was just talking about the 
options.

BTW, not buying a working sail has more to do with priorities than 
affordability.  I'm sure you can pick up a decent used one for about the 
cost of a dinner out.

But everyone makes their own choices and trade-offs.  I was just 
pointing out that removing the inner track because you don't have a 
working jib is not the only choice.  You could, for example, keep it 
until you got a working jib.  Or you could, for another example, remove 
it because you keep tripping over it.

But don't take everything I say on this list as directed to you, 
personally.  That would rarely be the case.
