Hello,

I am always in the wardrobe. What do you think about wrap around storm jib or storm jib with sleeve sytem like the Kemps sail. I suppose this last one is the better system. That looks easier but I don't know all this sytems in France. Is there somebody who has the experience about the storm jibs?

Best regards

I bought a second hand 4sq.m storm jib by Quantum. It has a sleeve to go over the furled genoa, with piston hanks to go through the rings on the sleeve. I have never used it in anger, only for practise. It tacks down to the mooring cleat just aft of the roller curler drum. Seems as effective as I could hope it to be.

Hope that's some use.
