| She was under staysail and forestaysail only, perfectly equilibrated, and her speed and power were awesome. |
|
| By contrast, an inner forestay and staysail can be left in place, ready to go when you need them most. |
|
| I went forward and lowered the staysail so that it did not blanket the wind from the small, Yankee jib. |
|
| Sunday, 20 May 2007 I worked in the cargohold tidying up, shifting cargo, and pulling out the old staysail to use as a jib. |
|
| We just woke up to take down our large jib and hoisted a smaller staysail in its place. |
|
| Our staysail is in very good shape, but doesn't have an ideal sheeting angle for pointing up high. |
|
| Your approach will work but the sail will not be nearly as good as one designed as a staysail to begin with. |
|
| We can carry the spinnaker in combination with the mizzen staysail or we can carry either alone. |
|
| Once those were set, we set three staysails in the bow, and one staysail between each pair of masts. |
|
| Orders were then given to set the jib and maintopmast staysail, and the former was set but the latter could not be, as the halyards were foul aloft. |
|
| All three sails are on a pair of sheets at the moment and I am building a new boomed staysail because I want a self tacking boat when I am on my own. |
