Subject: Reducing sail plan in heavy air
Info: (11455 views) Posted: Tuesday 2-26-13 08:23:54 PM
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.
