[Public-List] Flattening Reef

[Gordon Laco]

The sliding gooseneck allows great variety in the setting of the tension on
the luff of the sail.   If on hauls the head up to the top then pulls down,
the adjustments in tension have a more effective range than if you try to
adjust the tension with the halyard alone.
