It's not the heel that bugs me, it's the weather helm. She just doesn't like a broad reach; wants to come up into the wind to the point that I actually can't hold her.

I had one reef in and a largeish genny -- I don't think it's a 135, more like a 110 or 120 -- and I would have thought that with the reef in and the big jib I'd get rid of the weather helm. Well, it decreased quite a bit, but it was still noticeable and a big PITA. I guess next time I'll go to the second reef.

I guess my new rules of thumb are going to be "over 10kt == 1 reef"; "over 15kt == 2 reefs". Big genny up to 20kt, go to 100 at anything over.

We'll see how these work out.
