[Public-List] Twings and In-haulers

[Mike Meinhold]

I don’t see the need for barber haulers on an A30 . We have a relatively
small beam so our sheeting angle for the #1 is correct on the rail. For the
#3 upwind we have the secondary track .  If you are missing this track you
would want a twing or barber hauler but only for the Working Jib.

I crewed a Beneteau 42 that used twings all over, but the deck beam was
much larger.
For the spinnaker it would be good to run the guy from father outboard, but
that’s illegal.
