Roller reefing / furling sails - SailNet Community
2024年12月28日 · For reefing, I have permanently installed main clew and tack reefing lines, then add ties through the grommets at my leisure. A roller furling jib can interfere with mast raising and lowering on a trailerable, so I am content with a hank on jib and a sail cover to pack the doused jib into when I leave it hanked on at anchor or docked.
How to run reefing lines thru the boom.... - SailNet Community
2024年6月28日 · Both reefing lines were led from the tack, through the boom to the reefing clew, back through the boom to the gooseneck, down along the mast, and then back to the cockpit through deck organizers and clutches. The second reefing line …
34 Reefing Configuration - SailNet Community
2024年10月1日 · -1st and 2nd reefing lines are run from the gooseneck to a turning block at foot of mast through clutches on starboard cabin top using the right hand (outboard) winch. There is only two reefs set up. There is a storm trysail that has its own track on the mast which is about the same size as the main with 3 reefs.
Reefing, Spiral Lacing vs single line and how to tell...
2007年9月11日 · The section of the reefing line that goes from the boom up to the reefing clew provides the downwards tension, while the section going from the reefing clew to the aft end of the boom (in your case they go to the two cheek blocks) provides the outhaul tension. BTW, you should always tension the reefing tack first, then tighten up on the reefing ...
Reefing setup - SailNet Community
2010年6月21日 · I'd point out that connecting the outhaul to the reefing cringle won't generally work as well as having a dedicated reefing line that comes up from the boom and then back down and aft to a block, since the outhaul has very little "down" component to apply to the reef's clew, and the clew will tend to lift from the boom more than it would with a dedicated reefing line.
Reefing Downwind - SailNet Community
2015年11月2日 · Think this technique of reefing DDW may be applicable to smaller boats with very good batt slides or battenless mains but more problematic with larger craft with fully batten mains. One modification that may make it more practical is a thin line of spectra attached to the headboard serving as a down haul from the top of the mainsail.
Low friction rings for single-line reefing - SailNet Community
2014年1月10日 · Running the reefing line up and down on one side of the sail avoids crushing the sail against then boom when it is reefed. This was causing noticeable chafe on my main. If I know that I am going to reef at the dock I can use the reefing hook and use the reefing line only for the clew. My boat has a fairly small ~175sqft main sail.
How attach reefing lines - SailNet Community
2008年12月1日 · Denby, I think he's talking about jiffy reefing lines, or a single line reefing system. Kick, I typed "single line reefing" into a google search, then clicked on images. There are pages of drawings and pictures of every configuration of reefing line you can think of.
Reefing a Catalina 42 | Page 2 | SailNet Community
2015年12月6日 · The first picture attached shows the tack with reef 1 in place. The second picture shows how the reefing line runs to reef tack 2. Each reefing line passes thru the tack grommet on the same side as its gooseneck fitting, thru the tack grommet, back in front of the luff and then directly down to its mast termination point.
Reefing hooks - SailNet Community
2010年12月31日 · Once you have the reef cringle on the hook, slip one of the shock cord eyes over the hook to help hold the sail in while you get around to tensioning the luff again. If you have two hooks (typical for 2-slab reefing) the double-ended shock cord works for either side/either reef. This trick applies to Mike's suggestion above as well...
