Except for the clothing, these could've been time-machine photos.

The first reef has a reefing
line but the other two don't yet. I have reef ties at every reef. Yes, I forgot to re-tension the the Main halyard (heat of the moment, trying to reef down with rookies aboard).
The Genny was up but reefed down to about 90% from 135 when these pics were taken. She'll go to weather without a Headsail just not very fast. The 135 blew out in 15-20 that night when we were flying three rags to windward.
