I have a small full keel daysailer that I don''t take out in winds much stronger than 15 knots because I feel over powered. It has a large mainsail and only a small
jib, but the main does not have any reefing points. So the only way I can think to shorten sail is to either drop the
jib(but then I would not be able to go to windward), or drop the main (but that would leave me with only a small
jib which would not get me very far)! So does anyone know of a way to trim sails with the set up I have? Or maybe a way to set my sails so that some power is taken out when i have all the canvas up when the breeze is a litte stiffer?
Thanks
