Dancow: I'll try to answer your new questions
Reefing wind speed - Sunsail will go over in boat checkout (very important as it will go over every part of the boat / equipment....time for lots of questions). If my memory is right, definitely 20 kts.......but think they were conservative and said 15-17 for 1st reef & 20-22 for 2nd. I found those numbers to be low but then again, each skipper will have to make that decision based on conditions & crew.
Reefing points - think there were 2 in the main.......I only got to #1 once.
Genoa - I only shortened a little (once) & did not sail on it alone.
I had great conditions (15-20 kts except a few quick squalls one day) all week so I did not have to jump thru too many hoops.
No bother & no worries
