E Scow jib

« on: July 05, 2010, 06:42:32 pm »

For those of you with hanked on sails. A friend gave me the jib off his E Scow. It is perfect in winds over 15-20 knots when the working jib becomes a bit overpowered. It is a blade jib and allows to boat to point much higher going to windward in bigger wind. Had it up in 25+ knots with 3 reefs in the main and the boat balanced perfectly. I tied a couple of blocks to the stations next to the mast and run the sheets through there.

Bob,

What are the dimensions of the sail. That story gives us a nice target for a small headsail for windy days. (Every summer day in San Francisco)
