Another chapter in me new to me boat: delivery captain left boat with jib loosely furled,.
When I drove there 2 days later,, 2-3+ feet of leach were torn and flying in the wind. Tears are past UV and into sail material.
Boat had fueling problem and died, so skipper stopped, (Sunday morning). I took rental car to them so they could get home, then drove home.
Tuesday, I drove out to boat and saw jib leach blowing in the wind, about 2-3’ of it. I re-wound the jib solo at dock. Tears show,but still hasn’t loosened even in 20’s plus winds. (Current furl is still dismally loose compared to what I usually see.)
