Subject: Reducing sail plan in heavy air
Info: (11393 views) Posted: Thursday 2-28-13 12:59:20 PM
when racing I am more likley to use a reef than switch to the number 4. I have both options available, but feel it sails better with the 3 and is just easier and quicker to reef than switch sails in a blow

:: Certainly an effective crusing sail plan. And has shown

:: :: :: The smaller fully crewed ocean high wind #4 is good into
