Laying the rail down is not for everyone. Some have a wonderful time just keeping the mast straight up. It's their boat, and their perogative. I always used a 20 degree steady heel as a notice for reduction of sail. On most boats after 20 degrees you are making a lot of leeway, and stressing the boat for nothing.
On S.F. Bay you start reefing about 11am, and shaking them back out about 6pm on the way home. Home for Frolic was straight downwind from the Golden Gate. Of course that's late spring to early fall sailing. The rest of the year can be anything. You can almost set your watch to the wind during summer......i2f
