Thank you for the hint on furling.
My windrushs have taught me the value of arriving at the beach with one sail already rigged and I have often found the ease of return to beach just the bees knees.
Anytime with the photos would be great.

I had a thought about pressure on wing once trapping and of course the pressure DROPS hugely! a lot of the weight goes to the mast and rig and OFF the wings. The body weight is at that point pushing down the length of the frames and into the sheer strength of the bolts! It is far more likely I would break them while sit/hiking and working against foot straps with my body weight.

I think I need to chill about all of that.
