Hello:
Not sure if this question should be in this subsection or a sailing section:
My 2007 C36 II came with a downhaul and a Vang. I have sailed the boat on all points and can't see why I should keep the downhall rigged in place, with lines running back to cockpit and complicating my layout of jacklines on the deck. I am thinking of securing the line near the brake at the cockpit and stowing the downhaul under the v-berth. Are there wind situations where the downhaul performs better than the vang?
TIA
