[Public-List] Reefing

[Jonathan Bresler]

Greg,

As Gord, says best to haul out your sail and measure.
Worth while considering installing a track on the bottom with cheek blocks
on slides so that you have flexibility.
Its more expensive, but can accommodate different locations of the clew
reefing ring.
Was not able to find an example at Garhauer quickly.
Here is an example from Schaefer, but Schaefer is generally quite expensive

For reference, Constance has

   - First reef (25%, 158 sq. ft.): four feet above tack, reefing ring on
   starboard side of sail only
   - Second reef (46%, 113 sq. ft.): eight feet above tack, reefing ring on
   port side of sail only
