• REDUCING SAIL
The boat is fitted with 2 reefs.
Reefs are automatics.
Putting in reefs n°1 and n°2:
1 - Head the boat into the wind.
2 - Pull tight the topping lift.
3 - Slacken the mainsail sheet.
4 - Slacken the mainsail halyard and then trim reef line n°1 or n°2,
as needed, until the reefing blocks which correspond to the luff
and the mainsail leech are a few centimeters from the boom.
5 - Close the line cam cleat of the respective reef.
6 - Hoist taut the mainsail halyard.
7 - Slacken the topping lift and take in the mainsail sheet.
Refer to the running rigging diagram (chapter on RIGGING AND
SAILS) for identification of ropes.
• NAVIGATION WIND ASTERN
- Do not fall off more than 150° to the apparent wind.
- Put the traveler out as far as possible and slacken the sheet slight-
ly.
- Make sure the mainsail does not touch the shrouds ; the rubbing
of the battens will wear the material and cable very rapidly.
- Keep ma solent up to 15 knots speed and put in one reef or
more if the accelerations are sudden and strong or if sea condi-
tions deteriorate.
RECOMMENDATION
For safety, the reef line used should always stay on the
winch with 3 turns around the drum.
Re-close the cam cleat for greater safety.
