5.7 Reefing

Reefing enables the less-experienced or younger sailor to continue sailing in 

stronger winds.

Roll the excess mainsail and using sail ties through the reefing eyes. Make sure that 

there is enough tension in the luff by pulling on the main

TOP TIP

Make sure that you are in plenty of clear water when reefing.

HINT

The jib is a very effective strong wind sail area because it is low down and

maintains a balanced helm. So slab reef before you lose the jib – it’s more fun

for the crew!

Strong wind sailing can be the best fun of all, so become familiar with the reefing 

systems and get back out there!
