Put the slides on. They can be adjusted later by using longer or
shorter shackles or seizing. You can even fiddle with them yourself by
using temporary lashings.

Do you have reef points? It's way easier to reef putting the
points between the bolt rope and boom than around the boom. Same
for furling. The sail stays on top of the boom.

If you don't have reef points, this would be a good time to have
them put in.

If you leech isn't quite right, too tight or too loose, tell the
sailmaker. Adjustments can sometimes be made by making the slides
at the end closer or farther away from the bolt rope.


Yes, I do have one set of reef points.
I haven't used this sail yet. Wonder if I should hold off until I
see how it works...or just get the slides and adjust later if
needed?
