Jul 24, 2007 · The sew-on hanks are more durable because, if properly installed, they spread the load out over a much larger area of fabric. But they do need to be maintained. The other type were designed to lower the cost of making a sail, and when the fabric fatigues they will rip out, and do a lot of damage to the sail leading edge.

Mar 20, 2015 · I know this might be kinda elementary, but I don't totally understand furling. I've made a home built furler for a jib on a 17' daysailer and that's my only experience. In that case it was a tube around the forestay and the jib sail was attached with very small shackles where the hanks were removed to the tube with a small spool at the bottom.

May 31, 2011 · I plan on running the genny up the forestay with jib hanks and a halyard, any recomendations on a simple reefing system for it? Is slab-type reefing possible (or desireable) here? peterchech , May 31, 2011

disturbances introduced into the flow by roughnesses (jib hanks, cloth seams, etc.), the smooth changes in speed within the laminar boundary layer start to give way to a much more erratic type of flow. This is called the transitional region of the boundary layer. After this short transitional region, the boundary layer becomes fully turbulent.

Sep 3, 2015 · The first would be a down haul for the jib, so you can take it down without having to go out on the fore deck. This will require a well placed small pulley and some relatively thin line. The pulley attaches at the base of the fore stay and the line passes through the jib hanks, to attach to the top of the jib.

Mar 4, 2016 · PAR is right as usual, and it would be just as easy to make a sail as repair this one properly. The easiest of all would be to find an old discarded jib from a racing class with a similar sized jib. But if you would like to experiment a little, which I think is what you want to do, you could try replacing the entire leading edge.
