reefing

The PPSC has one reefing point on the mainsail... a good idea, methinks.

as said above !!! the one thing that you have to pay attention to is the trim. let the sails(plural) luff a little then tighten them up to stop the flutter. as the wind shifts adjust again. and so on. when i had day sailors and i still use them(my son's) i would always over sheet. we sent him to sailing school at AYC in newburyport and he showed me how it was done. all the difference in the world. been sailing most of my life (who says you can't teach an old dog new tricks. it's all about sail trim and center board location if you have or ever use one and weight distribution ect.
regards mike
