You should always try to locate the head of the reefed mainsail close to or just above a
staying point, rather than in the middle of a unsupported mast panel. This avoids
unwanted bending loads and reduces inverting the mast.
As mentioned previously, if you find a problem with the mainsail rolling up close to and
jamming against the mast, this is usually caused by
not lifting the end of the boom
sufficiently
with the topping lift.
You may also find it easier to regulate the speed at which the halyard runs out, as you
wind the boom, by using the ball of your foot on the line just before it enters the mast.
A jiffy reefing system may also be fitted, in addition to the roller furling boom, and this
can give slightly better sail control for better sailing efficiency.
To use, simply roller reef as described above, but only roll the main up until the selected
jiffy reefing points are reached (two sets usually included as standard). Lock the furling
handle as before, and then reattach the Cunningham eye tackle to the reefing tack eye.
Now unthread the outhaul line and rethread it through the new reefing clew eye. All the
