Default ECHO REBORN

We've fitted it to 47' boats without any problems but all the lines

I'm with Bart, I think two line reefing is better in some ways, but can
create a hassle with lines. The issue I have with single line reefing is
that it takes up luff tension first and it can be difficult to get the
clew cringle set out & down hard enough.

Good idea to check the lines often. Same for roller furling. BTW do you
reeve a back up line through the clew cringle once the reef is made up?
I have seen this in lessons but never done it in real life. Conditions
are always unfavorable to hanging on the end of the boom... especially
tucking in that second reef.
