Following on from Larrys thread.l have set up my 12 to use a 3 channel 40mg set up which allows me to use a jib trim.But if l am to sail outside of the uk my 40 mg set gets to stay at home.
So l then have to use a 27mg set up which allows me to sail my 12 in the uk and across the oceans.The only 3 channel 27mg set ups l can find have a steering wheel and steering wheels belong on cars not boats.
My question is (getting there at last) unless l buy another set which is legal whereever l am sailing is there any point in fitting a jib trim if l will only be using it for pleasure sailing,and not when l am sailing in hand to hand combat on foreign ponds
(ie the USA and the like !)maybe someone outthere has a answer l have not thought of.
