REDUCTION OF SAILS
The boat is fitted with 3 reefs.
Reefs are automatics.
Putting in reefs no.1 and no.2:
1 - Head the boat into the wind.
2 - Haul taut the topping lift.
3 - Slacken the main sail sheet.
4 - Slacken the main sail halyard and then trim reef line no.1 or no.2,
as needed, until the reefing blocks which correspond to the luff and
the main sail leech are a few centimetres from the boom.
5 - Close the line camcleat of the respective reef.
6 - Hoist taut the main sail halyard.
7 - Slacken the topping lift and take in the main sail sheet.
Refer to the running rigging diagram (chapter on RIGGING AND SAILS)
for identification of ropes.

SAILING WIND ASTERN
- Do not fall off more than 150° to the apparent wind.
- Put the traveller out as far as possible and slacken the sheet slightly.
- Make sure the main sail does not touch the shrouds; the rubbing of
the battens will wear the material and cable very rapidly.
- Keep main sail + jib up to 15 knots speed and put in one reef or
more if the accelerations are sudden and strong or if sea conditions
deteriorate.

RECOMMENDATION
For safety, the reef line used should always stay on
the winch with 3 turns around the gipsy.
Re-close the camcleat for greater safety.
