Friction is a problem with reefing system, flattening reefs and cunninghams
where a line runs through a cringle in the sail. There is a product called
Quick Reef which you install over your existing cringle which reduces friction.
This piece of gear is essentially a cringle with a small sheave
On my previous boat (Viking 28), I installed a single line reefing system
designed to reef the luff and leach with a single line running back to the
cockpit. My experience was that this system does not work well. Do to the
friction involved with the single line, cringles you were always
fightin
