Re: Converting head sails to hank on?
You can also get 'hank on' furling setups now too, giving you somewhat of the benefits of both worlds - furling, but with the ability to more easily drop and change headsails.
Had my Staysail “converted to hank on”at a Quantum sail loft and they literally did nothing other than put gromets on it and bronze hanks and charged me $400. Hell I coulda done that myself for $100. I thought they were going to put a nylon luff rope on it.
