I keep *** 4 *** reefing lines rigged back to the cockpit. (Yes, it took some extra hardware.)

I detest the so-called "single-line reefing", and I always split the reefing lines into separate tack and clew lines. I have all of the lines run up to the boom, but I do not keep the second reef lines attached to the sail unless I expect the possibility of needing a second reef.

I keep the first reef rigged. Not too hard to rerig for the second reef if it's needed (or drop the main and tie in the second reef). Between the first reef and reefing the genoa, we're pretty comfortable up to 25-27 knots true wind.

Unusual to see much more than that on the Chesapeake.

I do carry a "bulletproof" working jib for the "got to get home and it's blowing 30+... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (melelana) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/5239 Thu, 02 Feb 2006 06:46:08 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/5238/t/Reefing.html#reply-5238 Steve 642-2f TESA ]]> feeds@yuku.com (do335) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/5238 Wed, 01 Feb 2006 20:57:05 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/5237/t/Reefing.html#reply-5237

For one, the weather here in So. Cal. is pretty benign and for the most part I can pick and choose when and in what conditions I want to go out in. A 2nd reef may be needed .005% of the time. Secondly, even with a single line, there was an enormous amount of friction involved in putting in the 2nd reef that... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (garrywillis) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/5236 Wed, 01 Feb 2006 08:48:47 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/reply/5235/t/Reefing.html#reply-5235 ]]> feeds@yuku.com (cpayne14) http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/sreply/5235 Tue, 31 Jan 2006 23:31:08 GMT http://catalina42discussionforum.yuku.com/topic/1521/t/Reefing.html
Can you comment ? I have been discussing this with a C36 owner.
