What experience of the Twizzle Rig?

We sailed over 5,000 miles recently and the majority of the time with the twizzle rig set in trade wind sailing.

The skipper set the rig up in the Canaries for the trip to Rio de Janeiro after realising the need for a dedicated downwind rig on the trip from Portugal to the Canaries (which I also crewed on)

On that voyage, the main chafed through in a few days when rubbing on the shrouds and fore deck work in strong winds was hazardous.
