Before reading on, please stop for a moment to take this week’s survey so we can share the results with the Cruising Compass family.
Do you have diving gear aboard your boat?
Many thanks for all readers who took the time to answer last week’s survey on staysails. Of those who answered, 62% have staysails on their boats. Of those who do not, 28% say they are considering adding a staysail. Of those with staysails, 52% hank-on their sails while 48% have roller furling. Of those with staysails, 40% say they use the sail “not often” or “never.” 33% use the sail often and 18% say they use it all the time. 10% say they use the sail about half the time they are under sail.
