Bill,

this isn't a vote, it is an answer. If you are interested in opinions, how about a two part form, one an answer ((i) what do you currently use?, and (ii) what would you like to use?).

Despite my crisp new Tuff Luff Aero, I think that a furling headstay is the way to go...

Michael - This poll is to gather data on what people actually use, not what people want. I want a brand new J/111 but probably won't buy one since I didn't win the lottery last week.

There is no problem using a furler. It is allowed by class rule 5.8.1.1

Since we would miss you if you left the class to sail a J/111, I put a hex on your lottery numbers...

I voted!
