Paging CruisingDad... Catalina call on
line one...
CD is a technical editor for one of the Catalina models... the 400 IIRC.
Single
line reefing doesn't really allow you to optimally shape the reefed sail and also has some other issues... I'd recommend you read the Pineapple Sails article on reefing systems... located
HERE.
Also, highly recommend you read the post I refer to in my signature... it will help you get the most out of your time on sailnet. Welcome to the asylum.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
