Making coffee on the way

[kingsebi]

How big was the boat?

Up to about low-30s, not technically needed.

• Sails can be hoisted at the mast hand over hand. Tension with a strong Cunninham, no problem. You can also use a 2:1 halyard (I did on my F-27, but only because the sail hoisted with the luff tape in the groove, not sliders).
• Jib somewhat smaller and 2:1 sheet. head u p a little when you need to trim in.
• Tackle on mainsheet.

My Stiletto 27 did not have any winches and I never wanted them. My F-24 has 4 winches, and I use them all. My PDQ 34 had 6 winches, but I only really needed the primaries, because the jib was a big lapper. It depends on how the boat is set up.

What, no padlock on the chain? I figured you had a coffee-stealer in the crew that would not brew their own share.

Thank you for explaining.

Fortunately my crew doesn’t like coffee. Apart from that nothing is safe.
