It's raining again and I refuse to work in high humidity..for a number of reasons.

Sitting here watching the rain I got to thinking about cruising. The rig we have is so powerful it's hard for me to just relax and enjoy the day(I've tried it, you can get wet surprisingly quickly). That led me to the thought of cutting down my old main and using the stock jib or possibly a roller furling jib.

What's gained, what's lost, what's the cost?
