Yes, on my M17 in about 30 knot winds and with the furling jib down to a trash bag size! --Gary Hyde 2005 M17 sailboat #637 'Hydeaway 2' We can't change the wind, but we can trim our sails. Sailing is like "African Queening" thru life. On Apr 18, 2008, at 3:26 PM, Tom Jenkins wrote:
Hello M17 sailors,
The main on my 2004 M17 came with a single set of reef points, but I am not shy about have a second set installed if they are likely to come in handy. Has anyone out there needed to double reef, with or without a storm jib?
As always, I prefer to learn from the experiences of others, rather than finding out the hard way.
Thanks in advance for any comments.
