Ketch storm tatics
In a storm would you, if you had a ketch:
1. reef down the main and mizzen, drop the jib.
2. use just a tri sail on the main mast.
3. use a storm jib and a reefed mizzen.
4. just use a storm jib.
5. Use just a reefed main
6. Use a reefed main and a storm jib.
And why is a tri sail track offset on the main mast?
Is it just because you can raise the sail fast without un-bending the
main, or does it have something to do with shape.
How much, if any foil shape should a tri sail have?
And how do you best figure what size tri sail you should use?
And with a quick double reefing system, do you think a tri sail is
needed?
Thanks
