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!
