I've got a reefable working jib. I haven't really thought about a storm jib. Be interested in comments as to whether a lot of people have them and if they do consider them a must have insurance policy.

Christopher,

That was very interesting. It was especially relevant that they conducted their tests in high winds on a Contessa 26. I have been considering adding an inner forestay like the one used in the test for use with my hank-on storm jib. Thanks.
