i agree - but that is when everthing goes as planned.
stays can snag, side tangs can fail, stays can fail, crazy unexpected wind at the end of a day sailing .... all sorts of amazing ways to have extra excitement.
I have dialed in a few jin poles, including on a 45' mast .. things can go wrong - within just a few clicks of a winch (or seconds on an electric, or minutes on a harbor freight winch :)
the guy i purchased my 5.5. put his mast through his front window while dialing in his jin pole on his SC17. replaced it before the wife found out. :)[/quote]
