Dear All,

As I don’t know anything about using the jib I was just repeating what other people have said. To quote two “The Hobie jib is pretty worthless as I have pointed out elsewhere on this Forum.” and “The problem with the 25 ft2 jib Hobie offers is that it's not needed if you have wind, and it's too small to help much in light winds. There is only a narrow range of wind speed where it could be useful and so often isn't worth the trouble to rig.” But you are quite right that I should not judge until I’ve used it.

So being a complete beginner at both sailing and using the jib can you all give me advice on how to correctly use the jib I’ve got.

Regards, Tim
