No doubt!

Wolverine uses lazy sheets and guys for all but the lightest air conditions=
when they are clearly weighing the clew down, then we switch to a light ai=
r sheet. When it=E2=80=99s time to jib we re-connect the original sheet/guy=
, jibe, and then attach the light air sheet to the new clew and remove the =
sheet/guy on that side. One benefit of this approach is that the boat handl=
ing is always the same when jibing so things tend to get done smoothly and =
automatically. It=E2=80=99s always about trade-offs and I think using lazy =
sheets and guys is worth any tradeoff in the lower wind ranges. That=E2=80=
=99s my $.02 anyway.

You are going to get multiple answers from this group I think. Brilliant us=
