Thanks for the reply, Charley. I'm confused - you say Ethan steered you to hanks, but you prefer straps? Also, my original North jib only has 5 hanks, and I haven't really noticed a problem if halyard tension is kept reasonably high. I assume you are concerned about scalloping with 5 vs 9? Would like to make Ocala some day, but not sure when! Neil S. '77 5.2 #357
