Nick, At this stage I am readying the boat for requirements of Ocean Racing Victoria, in accord with the "Beyond The Bay" program I completed last year.
Are you back in Vic?

Hi Kevin, no I'm still away for work at the moment. I have a storm jib on iluka, it is a bolt rope type that goes in the same track as the headsail this means in order to put it up you have to take off the furling Genoa. Which really makes it inpractical to use, I have thought about modifying it so it could slide up over the furled Genoa as when it's blowing enough to warrant a storm jib the last thing you want to do is unfurl the Genoa.

Nick,
No, my jibs are all hanked on, so I do not envisage any great difficulty in changing jibs, hopefully well before the weather deteriorate too much.
