When it would pipe up around 20, I would feather the main in the lee of the jib, and drop it, the lazy jacks would hold it pretty much in place, get the sail ties on and keep going. That is if you have a 130 or better –
I have won races doing that.

But I don’t even reeve the first main any more. If things pick up, I go straight to the second reef. Less fiddling, and I’ve never missed the sail area between the first and second reef. The headsail tends to be the primary driver on our boats, anyway. — Fred Fred Street -- Minneapolis S/V Oceanis (1979 C&C Landfall 38) -- Bayfield, WI
