After some reading and research, it is still not clear to me what kind of heavy weather sail is best for a mid-size cruising boat with furling headsail like our Beneteau 361. Has anybody had experience using the “Gail Sail” by ATN Inc. (www.atninc.com). Although their website shows with a movie how easy it is to set it up in perfectly windless conditions and flat seas, something tells me that hoisting up such a sail over the furled genoa may not be that easy under heavy weather conditions. I have enquired for alternatives and my sail-maker tells me that the only one he knows is to set up a second removable forestay aft of the existing one and hoist a storm jib there (an expensive project). Any thoughts about the choice of storm sails?
