Thanks Dave With each reef point (2) it would seem that there would be a corresponding jib to fly (in a perfect world of course). Even with reefed main and no jib the helm would be unbalanced ( to weather)..

This is at around 20kts. Storm is a likely the incorrect term as storm jibs are VERY small and for storm wind conditions: 30+ or more knots. What is wanted is a high wind or strong wind headsail. The size depends on the wind strength(s) you are willing to sail. Contact Harry at epsails.com. He knows the MBoats and can provide the best high wind headsail for your local conditions. :: Dave Scobie :: M6'8" #650 :: Baba 30 #233 DEJA VU :: SV SWALLOW - sv-swallow.com :: former owner M17 #375 SWEET PEA - m17-375.com :: former owner M15 #288 SCRED - m15namedscred.wordpress.com <<-- new site!

Do any of you skippers fly a storm jib? When reefing the Main?
What size and how high on the mast is it flown?
