Subject: Reducing sail plan in heavy air
Info: (11414 views) Posted: Wednesday 2-27-13 10:55:06 AM
I sail with my kids often , found reefing main much more effective . Using # 4 not so much .

:: Every inventory benefits from a #4 that is 75% 3/4 qrts
:: hoist.
::
:: Some #4 in racing inventories are 80% 8/10ths hoist.
::
:: The smaller fully crewed ocean high wind #4 is good into
:: high 20's double handed after which first reef.
::
:: Mike Bruzzone.
::
:: :: Since I sometimes sail with a lighter weight crew, I am
:: :: considering adding a set of reefing points to the main
:: :: for use in heavy air. Any opinions on doing this versus
:: :: using a less than 100% jib?
:: ::
:: :: Thanks, Maryann
