Standard e27 first reef is headboard to the hounds . . . about 4 feet I think. Call Steve at Hogin . . . he can do the mod - 415/523-4388.

Desperado has a reef in its primary ocean main.

In 25 years of e27 racing, I've used a reef, racing in the ocean, once . . . with 4 outboard on the rail. Also, for short handed cruising.

Reefing can redefine handling on the boat when needed . . . but, always change down the jib first. mb

:: Hi -
::
:: I am looking to equip the boat for some offshore racing
:: and I would like to add a reefing line to the main. I
:: was wondering if anyone would have any recommendations
:: re: length, section, type of line, etc... or any other
:: particular advice on how to set it up (for short-handed
:: races)
::
:: Much appreciated!
::
:: Nat (Elise)
