[quote=badfish]Interesting post.
On the AHPC C2 I crew on (fully battened jib), the jib doesn't go up until we're ready to go and comes down when we get back. That said, I have considered rigging a bit of bungee to connect to the clew of the jib and then to the end of the front crossbar. The idea being it keeps the wind on one side of the jib but keeps it from powering up. I wouldn't walk off too far, but its an idea.
The other would look at leaving the foot of the jib attached to the bridle, lowering the jib and flaking it, putting a sail tie around it and sheeting it hard. When you're ready to go, release the sail tie and hoist.[/quote]
