I've hanked on enough sails singlehanded to appreciate a good reefer/

headsail rather than always too much or too little. As for the foam
luff: I think it's a Good Idea, and as mentioned does give you a
better sail shape when reefed, but not necessary for reefing. Just
make sure you get a GOOD furling system (mine is a Harken) - the
cheaper ones furl but don't reef.

I have a Schaefer. Sailing with it reefed in 25kts plus isn't a
problem. Definitely, you need a decent mechanism.
