The recent thread on Lectra-Sans mentions Y-Valves.
The most commonly available is the Forespar product
with the miraculous "breaking handle" feature (even
the re-design seems to be junk). There are others, but
which one is best, especially for those of us who
don't use them frequently? Has Practical Sailor ever
tested these?

Someone, I think it may have been Keith Emmons had a strong reccomendation
on this. I thought I had it saved, but I guess not. I think it was the
"Whale" brand, but not positive. Maybe he'll chime in here.

Jabsco has one that has some nice features, rotating outlet ports, etc, but
I don't have any experience with them.

There are 4 brands to look at on page 535 of the new WM book.

Whale is the only one worth a s--t in my humble opinion. Pun intended! ;-)
