Guest Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 any tricks to prevent from getting smashed into the deck or topsides....? let the halyard out more , and it would only happen if there is no wind . prods are the only thing that usually are an issue , we pull ours in . you can always pull on one side and collapse the sail , then you will just fall in the water Link to post Share on other sites
