My furling genoa is at the menders. I have to sail the boat about twenty miles to another mooring at the weekend. I also have a hank on jib and genoa with great big bronze hanks which appear to be pressed on and are immoveable. Is there any way I can attach either of these sails to the furler – temporarily – I was thinking of maybe putting some rope loops or collars around the furling rod and hanking onto these. ( I would not expect to reef the sail it would only be fully furled or unfurled.) Alternatively I could rig the spinnaker halyard as a forestay and attach it to a spare position behind the furler and hank a sail onto that . but would that be too bendy?
It should be mainly downwind – and I’ve always got the option of motoring as well/instead.
Any suggestions?
