I have my boat rigged for reefing from the cockpit with what I call a "high"

Most phrf stations have the genny penalty of 3sec/mi for each 10% of overlap
over 155%. So a 165% would only be 3sec/mi.
If you have a lot of light air (under 10kts), it's something to consider for
this boat. You can carry a 155% to over 15kts; just have a bubble in the front
part of the main.
Mark your halyard with a Sharpie so you know how far to ease the halyard.
I also use the tack ring. The lines for the clew come back to the cabin
top clutch/winches. Ease the halyard, hook the ring on the horn, tension
the halyard and the clew. In the Bay I only have 1 reefing line rigged for

You will want to make sure that when you honk down on the clew you don't pull
the tack back. In other words, you'll have to set up your Cunningham to pull
forward as well as down or you'll be pulling the bolt rope off the sail slides.
As I noted in an earlier post, I have moved everything up to

I agree with Rich, sailing my 38 is easier than sailing my 25. A bigger boat
