"south Florida/Bahamas sailor 90% of my sailing will not require running backs"
this kind of statement is heard way too often, and implies perhaps a misunderstanding of what runners are for. Of course, this depends on the type of boat, or really type of rig, you have. Runner use has more to do with wind strength and sail shape and mast bending on MOST boats.
What kind of boat/rig are we talking about ?
