Who among us is sailing with hank on jibs. My brand new auto pilot, not even used yet had to go in for a recall for a version upgrade, and it came back broken. Took it to the boat to reinstall the ACU 100 unit and the bloody thing doesn't even light up. So it's on its way back to Flir/Raymarine again.
So I solo sail. Previous boat had a furler. Got used to that luxury. Apart from dingy sailing, my Hiunter 25.5 is what I'm experienced with. Sailed for eight years with her. Now I have to hank on sail. I'm constantly struggling with hoisting and bringing down the jib. The 150 is the real pain, the ninety is a little easier. Do you all use sail bags? Maybe someone can tell me the sequence. A Furler is not in the budget right now. Sail and Furler is about $5k, installed.
