I saw this on you tube, twin head sails on one furler. I though it might be better than a spinnaker for single hand sailing. It looks easy to work with.
I have upgraded my forestay. Anyone tried this?
Thanks

Re: Twin Jibs
yes I can do that on my Harken furlers , its proper purpose is actually when racing it allows u to set a second head sail then when it is set u remove the first head sail all this is done with-out losing headway

Highlander - Thanks for posting the videos.
How much did they improve your speed? I figure to put them on one furler for easy of control when solo. I know it is crazy to fly a spinnaker single handed.
