When the time came to decide on a system for Beowulf, we had lots of experience with Profurl, so we stayed with them. Incidentally, we started with jib hanks on Beowulf, and switched to the Profurl when we reached New Zealand. <\/p>\n<p> The jib we now have, made by North, has a vertical batten in the foot and three along the leech, all parallel with the headstay so they do not inhibit rolling. These battens allow us to have a sail shape much closer to what we used with hanks, where we had a full width batten towards the top of the sail.&#8211;Steve Dashew <\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hi!
