Some of you may remember a thread about a year ago where I was soliciting opinions on how to get a single-line reefing system to work on S.V. Safari, my C&C 34.
I can say that I got it working well enough to take us safely to Tofino and back, along with a year’s worth of great sailing. The single line reefing made reefing with an inexperienced crew much safer and smoother. However, it’s not perfect. The reefing lines (along with the outhaul, topping lift, etc.) had to contend with a fair amount of friction and frozen hardware that will never come off, and as such our reefs tend to not be as crisp as they could/should be. So I’m contemplating what a new boom might look like. Something with internal reefing lines, outhaul, topping lift, etc.. I’m not sure where to start. What are my options? Andrew -- Andrew Means S.V.
