Sock-Jib is a patented heavy weather jib that can be hoisted quickly and easily without lowering the furling sail.
The Sock-Jibīs Dacron luff wraps around the rolled headsail and hanks to the opposite side of the sail. Then you simply hoist it over the rolled jib.
The furled genoa is kept in the sleeve of the Sock-Jib and in addition prevents the possibility of accidental unfurling.
The manoeuvre can be carried out by just one crewman. It has no zips or complex elements. Nothing can break down. Any yacht, with any furler and by any crew, even by a single crewman. It is not necessary to use an alternative inner stay or modify the rig. Although the distinctive feature of the Sock-Jib is how easily it can be hoisted, its performance, especially upwind, is truly outstanding. The sleeve of the Sock-Jib over the furled genoa provides a shape of great aerodynamic efficiency. Compared to the poor performance of a partially furled genoa, the efficiency of the Sock-Jib may well be its most important advantage.
It is essential on any yacht with a furling system and as a bonus you can transform your jib to the Sock-Jib system. For further details contact Juan Merayo on mobile, 627003185 or www.sock-jib.com
