Yes, knowing how to sail helps! :-) I just sold my sailboat, though, so think that I can do that OK. Might make 2 knots, which does not sound like much. But it will get you home. What I was thinking of doing was running a forestay from the mast down to the front of the bow, doing some extra shrouds on the mast, and ordering a sail cut to the proper dimensions. Just clip on of course. No fancy roller furling. Strictly for emergency use.
