I have information on reefing the mainsail from the cockpit and anticipate no big problems there as the reefing lines are relatively short and the effort required fairly small if proper blocks and good anglesare used.Raising and lowering the mainsail from the cockpit  is a problem of a different magnitude.The run of the halyard is much longer and the effort required to raise the whole sail much greater.Does anyone have hands on experience of a cockpit system that uses 3/8" all rope halyard and tips on do's and dont's.
