Yes, but you got that little teensy spin so you don't need holding power...oh, but you are old so ....


It was actually my I20 that I had the double ratchets on, and had all the trouble with the gybes.

You are right, now that I'm old, and have a teensy-tiny spinny, it's a lot more fun, and easier to trim, even in a blow, a single auto ratcht is plenty. After the thunderstorms went by last night, I got out for an hour in the left over breeze, sure is nice only having to haul 230lbs. up the beach alone!
