Storm Jib options

[Brian Duff]

While running load numbers may reveal that we neeed larger intermediate shrouds, I don't think that will be the case. Adding an inner-forestay without runners would probably be fine on that boat. That said runners can easily be set up to weigh almost nothing, cause no damage to anything on the boat, and be operated completely from the cockpit with mostly existing hardware.

I strongly recommend hiring a rigging shop to help with the upgrade, and be sure they calculate the loads added to the rig and ensure that the mast is up to the task. Selden and Southerly will be happy to consult with whatever rigger you hire, I am sure.
