Hi... thanks for that. We will have to make it a token genny I guess and then practice the timing and, as you say, let the wind take it round the mast. it is going to be interesting when we launch but thanks again.

HI, I don't think is is very practical as the genny will come aft of the mast,how much depends on the size (eg 50%, 50% or 90% )
The problem is getting the genny around the mast. From my bown experience in offshore saing, the only way was to come up into the wind, realise the genny from the winch and let the wind take the genny around. Didn't always work, and mostb occasions we had to "hand" it around.
Hope this makes some sense.
