I took my H-22 out on San Antonio Bay on the Texas coast prior to 'Rita'. We had good wind and we raised the jib for the 1st time since I launched the boat. This jib that came with the boat was labled 'Hunter 22 Lapper' on the bag. I assumed it was the working jib since the other is labled '150'. As the wind incresed, so did our heel. My GPS registered 5 knots and though I could keep it at a 25 degree heel, we did a 30 that brought water over the toerail. An invigorating sailing to be sure, but really over-canvassed. This jib exteneded past the main by about a foot...almost like a 110? What is the working jib for a H-22? Also...food for thought...do you think a roller furling jib from a Hobie 18 magnum would work on a H-22?!?!?!?!?

H22 jibs
Working jibs are usually 100% of foretriangle, sounds as if you are correct in thinking that this is a 110%. People used to call a 110% a lapper, that term seems to have faded with time. I don't know anything about the Hobie furler, but it doesn't sound big enough to me. I'm also looking for a furler for my H22, preferably a Schaefer Snap Furl 500. Anybody know of one, please let me know about it. Mike

Keep me informed.
I have been considering a roller furling but am probably 1 to 2 years away. Let me know what works best for you. My working jib is a 110. I just got a 155 this year and since I lake sail mostly it is great.
