Ketch storm tatics

Tri sail all the way, baby! Storm jib and mizzen can work, but only on heavier
crab crushers.
I have a crab crusher
You fail to include the severity of conditions in any case.
Lets say 40-70 knots steady, seas running 12- 18 ft with an occasional
20 footer.
I sail full sails in steady 20-30 without much worry, but once I get
into a steady 30+ I need to reef , 50-60 in big seas will put me in a
storm mode.
