Now bob... just a question.... on your C&C 35s5... do you reef the main

prior to the headsail or reef the headsail prior to the main. On full
keelers you always reef the main prior to reducing headsail


Mooron, you do know that the 35s5 is a fractional rig, right? You do
know that I can sail FAST with just the main and still outpoint you,
right? You do know that a typical 110% is all you need when you have
this kind of light air ability, right? Since the main is much of the
drive (assuming I don't have the 150% mylar up) I'd reef the main. Of
course reefing the jib is fast via smooth RF. I'll simply reef before
you and still pass you on any point of sail...and have more fun to
boot!
