[quote=MN3][quote]What's the procedure for getting the main down while sailing on a H16 or P16 when it's windy? Unhooking the bead from the fork would require getting pretty far forward and beat up by the jib I would think.[/quote]
ANCHOR.. then drop the main while facing head into the wind. A second set of hands to prevent the sail from catching air is very helpful.
PS if you drop your main... you should still attach your halyard to your blocks/beam to act as a backstay (the sail/blocks do that when attached) otherwise... DON"T LOOK UP AT YOUR MAST... IT WILL BE MAKING REAL UGLY SHAPES as the jib bents it forward.. (asking for disaster without it)[/quote]
