Don't you think a furled genoa would be blown out in a storm.storm jibs I have seen are pretty heavy cloth and usually orange in color and not furled. I think I would want an orange storm trysail also mad of very heavy cloth. Dwight Veinot C&C 35 MKII, Alianna Head of St. Margaret's Bay, NS

Hey chuck, I did the free flying jib on my DS22 and it worked like a charm. The sail was the jib off our family's decommissioned Lightning. The boat screamed upwind. It was tacked to a deck cleat and hoisted with the the spin pole halyard. Generally in high winds l'll hoist the blade (100%) an

Brent, Though I'm no expert, I did some research on storm sails and came to the conclusion a storm trysail is more desirable, than a storm jib. The trysail will work without the jib. Another option is a free flying storm jib tacked to a deck fitting, so the center of effort is closer to the mas

I have a "storm jib" for my 25, which is a heavily built 65% headsail using white Dacron and having a 2 ft pendant on the tack to raise it above the bow pulpit. It's somewhere around 100 square feet, which is larger than the 60 square feet of orange recommended for an offshore racing storm sail. I

PIYA Special Regulations Governing Minimum Equipmenmt and Accomodtions Standards effective January 2011 advises an area for a storm jib not to exceed 5% of I square. This was a candidate for upgrading, so it may have changed. My storm jib is very heavy and is orange in color. Alan Bergen C&C

Hi all My wife has allowed me to purchase a new much needed storm headsail for my 27 mkV. I have received a quote from a local loft for a Lee sail and the price seems reasonable. My question is what would be the ideal dimensions for this sail where it's use will be when I'm caught 18 miles from
