If Skip Novak uses roller furling I guess it’s OK on my boat.

I have a Harken furling system and lots of ocean miles on it. I carry a 100, 110 and 130% all roller furling. I almost never put up the 100 or 110. If the wind is blowing to the point I need to reef I roll it in completely and sail on the staysail and reefed main. The Monitor wind vane works very well with this set up. And I don’t break anything.

Has anyone used a reefing hank on jib. It was on an old ranger I used to race?
