Hi Brad,
When you race in one of these, do you need to keep one hand tied
behind your back or can you let it just hang at your side?
Inquiring minds want to know. :)
Happy V D to all.

time rounding up with a wave to get over, and then head down wind again
before trimming back up into the wind.
Hopefully a skill set never required.

Dwight's content should not be missed.
Crew weight is as important as apparent wind
speed & angle and maybe even include time to
destination or course change for deciding "when to reef".
For me, a simple observation "is the toe-rail
getting buried" is the tell-tale. If she can't be

Dwight, you’re dreamin’. You are never gonna find 7 or 8 agile 200 pounders
willing to sit on your rail. neither will I.
For that reason, I have decided to not race Lovely Cruise any longer.___

As my old dad always used to say, "The time to reef is when you first think
about it." The reasoning being that it's easier to shake the reef if the air
lightens than it is to tuck one in if it gets breezier.

I say, if you're wondering if you should reef, you should reef before you head
out. It's a whole lot easier to shake a reef out if you don't need it than it
is to put one in if you decide you need one while under way.
You can really never reef to early (if your not racing) but, you can wait

I teach my students to reef as soon as they think about it, they are probably
right. It is hard to come up with hard rules about when to reef when different
boats and sailors have very different comfort levels.___

If I am by myself, flying a 130 genoa, I will
I'm a fan of keeping the boat pretty flat, so I usually reef my 33 at about
13kn if i know its blowing that before I head out.
If i'm already out, i'll wait until around 15 kn before doing the main but will
usually furl in the genoa a bit before that.
The wind on Lake Ontario is rarely steady,
Are we talking true or apparent wind speeds with respect to when to reef?
If I am just out for an easy cruise which I start before noon with the
full main and 130 RF genoa, often times rather than reef the main I
just get rid of the furling genoa when the afternoon wind pipes up.
When the wind app
There's no simple answer to this (it's something you may just have to find
your own preferences for) but the common answer is around 15 knots - or
wait till 20 knots, but you'll probably be compensating for over-canvasing
at that point (traveled way down, dumping wind, pinching up in gusts, etc).
I reef when my beer falls over. :)

Depends on if you are racing or cruising, sea state, wind conditions and what
headsail you are using – to say nothing of what the Admiral will tolerate. If
you are consistently heeling more that 10 or 15 degrees, it is time to think
about reducing sail. One way to do that is size the headsail
If I am by myself, flying a 130 genoa, I will reef the main at about 15kts,
makes for a much more comfortable ride. If I’m lazy, I’ll just fly the genoa
without main and still have plenty speed.
