But that is a self tacker isn't it?
or at least a non furling one - correct?
and the C2 is a race boat that uses a spinnaker for downwind leg - a non spin boat could see a bigger value off and down wind (i think)Edited by MN3 on Jul 31, 2019 - 02:35 PM. [/quote]
You are correct on all counts.
Perhaps I am being too simplistic here, I don't have a reference point for a furling jib uphaul, but I am unsure why you couldn't duplicate the setup from a self-tacker. The only caveat would be the need to release/ease the jib uphaul line prior to furling and re-set it when unfurling. Its not ideal by any means, but you could minimize your investment to see if it is worth the investment to do something more well thought out.[/quote]
