Ahoy ... Brent here ... I guess because you have never done business directly with me that there is some confusion. It has been the same briefing for the past 5 years.
With the bias/camber cut and little luff packing (rope/foam) on a +100% headsail I do ask the Captain to have a little sympathy for the Owner and furl rather than reef the jib ... as the weather dictates.
Please use the GPS and Chartploter as much as you want, need, don't want, don't need? Yes, I prefer to have someone on the helm while underway due to CC Captains and fish traps, of course all the yachts have working auto helms if you need a break in open water, but not within a harbor ... again, for the safety of the yacht and in consideration of the Owner.
Sorry if I take the safety, long term reliability, and conscientious operation of my Owners yachts personally.
