No James, I don't recall, sorry Alan Elyse SM437

The staysail is actually quite small, we have had it unreefed in 30 knots plus, and two reefs hove to in 50+. Like all roller furling sails it does not have a good shape when reefed, too much belly in

Alan, I just saw your Maxsea photo of the 90 degree tacks..those looks pretty close to square to me. Do you by chance recall which way the current at the time was running? Best, James Alton SV

If nobody else wants it, I do. I have a stock of unobtanium Amel stuff that comes in handy when preparing boats for resale. Plus you won't have to mail it... Joel THE EXPERIENCED AMEL

Alan, Your inner forestay arrangement sounds like a great solution for setting a smaller jib on the foredeck. How much wind can you use the staysail in (with the wind well forward of the beam)

Thank you all for the information. Trevor SV Iris SN27 Langkawi On Sat, Nov 19, 2016 at 4:03 AM, 'Herbert Lackner' herbert@... [amelyachtowners] <amelyachtowners@...> wrote:

Hello all, As part of a repair and upgrade to our jib furler we replaced the furling drum with the new style two piece drum. (Note: Don't make this change for fun. The new unit is better designed

Bill, This day was exceptional I have to admit, we usually are more like 100 degrees, but Elyse continues to surprise me. The sails are Hydranet triadials from Deme Voiles, the main and mizzen have

Alan, You really get a SM to tack through 90 degrees measured by COG? Wow! Who’s your sailmaker? That’s a COG tacking angle I’d expect from a J-105! What apparent wind angle do you have to

Hi James, There are lots of messages in here about inner forestays...and pictures. Ours was factory installed and is a furler on a permanent stay at the top spreader with dyneema running back stays.

Bill, I am unfortunately not on my boat, however as I recall, on the bottom of my swivel are two eyes that line up with the two grooves in the furler. These two eyes are the attachment points for

If the block is attached to the bottom of the swivel, it turns with the foil, and the job. The top of the swivel does not turn. That's what makes it a swivel... On Nov 18, 2016, at 16:16, 'Bill &

Or maybe attach it to the shackle that holds the jib up to the swivel, avoiding the wrap problem? On Nov 18, 2016, at 15:46, 'Bill & Judy Rouse' yahoogroups@... [amelyachtowners]

James, You will be attaching a block to the swivel. It does not turn when the foil and sail is furled. Therefore, you will have that halyard wrap around the foil. Do you get it? Bill Rouse BeBe

Bill, My plan is to attach a small block at the location that the head of the second sail would be normally attached to and the second small block at the location where the tack of that sail is

Hi Bill Perhaps because as a manufacturer he was able to fit a three track headsail foil, not work a system around two tracks. Danny
