After looking over the polysails webpage, I think I will use one of
hteir kits that I will modify for the MiniCups. At eh end of their
directions, they discuss sewing over the double sided tape which I will
do.

Does anybody have any ideas for reefing the gaff rigged MiniCups?


I've heard of Sunfish racers reefing their lateen sails using something
called a Jens Line which holds the gaff tight to the mast. Since the gaff
is longer than the boom on the MiniCup, you may want to put your reef points
at the top of the sail.
