Lee,
<p>It was in response to George's comments, as follows:
<p>"Gord,
<p> I've not used such a jib, but I've heard they work well.
I'd suggest
<br> the first thing to do is to really flatten the main. If
it's old,
<br> you probably have too much draft in it. If you can't flatten
the
<br> main enough, let it luff a bit. The A30 sails amazingly
well with
<br> a big bubble in the luff of the main. This helps it stand
up when
<br> the main is too full for the winds.

Fisherman's

<br>Always good to learn another heavy weather technique.
