Reefing
Posted: Sun Nov 02, 2008 1:58 pm
The sail I have now has a set of reef points in it, and on a windy day, with guests aboard, I've thought of raising the boom up when I reef instead of lowering the head of the sail. That way someone would have to stand up to get hit in the head with the boom.
My question is has anyone tried this, and if so how did it work out? Does it cause any ill effects to the boats handling?
