Storm Jib Rigging

[lr172]

My new to me H34 has a Storm Jib with a luff tape for the furler. However, I have heard it can be very difficult to get the Genoa down if not done before the wind picks up.

I have hank on storm jib that I bought when I thought I was buying an H31 without a furler. My H34 has both a Staysail halyard and a spinnaker halyard in addition to the Jib Halyard.. I was wondering if I could attach the Staysail halyard to the furler attachment at the bow and tighten as a stay to hank the storm jib onto. I would use the Spinnaker halyard as the storm jib halyard.

Would this work for me.?

Thanks,

Larry

Sounds reasonable, Larry.. pick a calm day at the slip and give it a shot to see if the angles and stuff work out.. You'll probably have a problem with the position of the spin halyard since it should be forward of everything else..
