almost every boat i assisted with over the last seven years had a main with two reefs. IMO having two reefs is a lot like having an umbrella - have it you you will likely never need it, but if you don't. when i bought my M15 she didn't have two reefing points - got caught out wishing I had the ability to put in a second reef many times. when i purchased a new main for my old M15 it was with a double reef (sail was made by Harry). in contrast I've never double reefed my M17. :: Dave Scobie :: M17 #375 SWEET PEA - https://m17-375.com/ <http://www.m17-375.webs.com> :: Truck camper - https://truckpopupcamper.wordpress.com/ :: Ramblings - https://scoobsramblings.wordpress.com/ :: former M15 owner #288 - http://www.freewebs.com/m15-name-scred On Tue, Mar 20, 2018 at 7:07 AM, bownez@juno.com <bownez@juno.com> wrote:
And another question.....
Are most M17 owners going with 1 intermediate reef point or 2 reef points?
Seems like a deep 2nd reef gets very little use. Does a compromise reef point (in between the two) make more sense?
