What boat was it, and was there a second reef available on the main?

The (British) Hunter Sonata I've been crewing on all season - 22.5' fin keel
sloop. A second reef was available. I dare say the wind got up more than we
expected - we had reefed when we first went out to check the conditions in
the morning and did well in the first race (3rd). We're usually a little
over-canvassed - our local conditions are variable and I think the skipper
prefers to have enough sail for the lighter winds and ride the gusts.
