Yes, the traveler is still on the aft edge of the bridgedeck. Of note,
I still have not added traveler tackle system (blocks/jam cleats)
because of trying to figure out how to remove the old traveler to get
new cars mounted. Instead we rig a line to the traveler/mainsheet

Hi Ron,
Interesting about your 35-2 setup. With such a short boom, is the traveller
still on the bridgedeck? Our main is about 18" short of the boom end, but I
assume it's the stock 13.5' boom. The headsails are totally custom: a
solent rig inner furler with a smaller jib (marked 95%, but due to s
Our main only has two reef points, but the 2nd is quite high - I suspect
the top of the sail would be no higher than the spreaders. I hope to test
it out this weekend.

I’m curious how many have and use a Jib-Top? Worth it?

That sure seems to be true and I wonder why??? Are we just being too cautious
when we start with a no.2 or when we drop to the no.3? Or is there really no
need ever for a no. 2?Although cloth density might make a difference if our no.

Downside of jib alone is tacking as mentioned. We often end up tacking
through 130deg and then have to claw our way back to closehauled. Still worth
it as my wife and I can easily handle 25+ winds. And she's no spring
chick.RonWild CheriC&C 30-1STL

Sailed under 2nd or 3rd reef many times. On the 35 Mk 1 if you need a reef at
all, you need the 2nd. 3rd not rigged right now but I would put it back for

I bought a new mainsail last year with two reef points including dogbones in
the cringles. And I bought a gooseneck pin with ram's horns. Problem is the
dogbones aren’t long enough, so I can only hook one ring, and I have to remove
the sail stop to let a slug out of the track to do so. Easil

For those of us race and change sails, one of my racer buddies told me you
never change down from a #1 to a #2. You always drop to your #3. In my years
racing since he told me that, I’ve come to agree with him.
You might start with a #2 but you rarely change down to one.

I may be a bit lazy, as I’m a cruiser and not a racer; or maybe it’s just the
way the reef points are set up on my main. 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 an

In those conditions, you should be good with just a small jib and no main.
That's a lot of breeze. I bet you were kind of lonely out there!

Thanks, this is good to know. I wanted to drop the main and try that, but I
was afraid it would be shredded in the process. There were a few other
sailboats, but none of them with sails up. Just as we passed by Victoria
harbour, a windsurfer crossed our bow, tacked back, and waved... he was
flying!
