Eh. Better than a poke in the eye, I suppose. It's a lot easier to
just lose the inner forestay when setting a big genny and resetting the
forestay when going back to a yankee or reefed genny. Think about it;
tacking with the tricing line would mean managing the helm, sheets, and
tricing line at the same time - busy, busy, busy...

Cheers,
Rick Emerson
