Re: Pros and cons of leading halyard and reef lines to cockpit?

OK.

As the say mileage may vary ... and so it does.

Reading this thread is an eye opener to me as to how very different cruisers' layout can get from the racing one.

I bump into this now and...

Re: Pros and cons of leading halyard and reef lines to cockpit?

Yes. I too have read interesting things about heaving to and 'slicks' and other phenomena. My first observation is that some books, interesting and valuable reads otherwise, are collections of...

Re: Pros and cons of leading halyard and reef lines to cockpit?

Why do you guys go forward to attach the tack? I simply lower the sail, tension the tack reef line, tension the clew reef line. Done. Off course, I too have the reef horns and can place the grommet...

A clarification of the clarification:

Techniques and observations from old age, big, working vessels with specific hull shapes should only VERY carefully be translated to much smaller,...

Re: Pros and cons of leading halyard and reef lines to cockpit?

Yes. A beautiful video. This is sailing proper. You have noticed how stable the boat is. She may broach. But a cruising boat will broach too, and sooner.

There are also fine videos out there, one...

Re: Pros and cons of leading halyard and reef lines to cockpit?

I feel more secure on the racing deck than on a cruising boat.

Racing layout is better trimmed to doing things in an effective way. There are no granny bars to catch the lines, there are no...

Re: Pros and cons of leading halyard and reef lines to cockpit?

I see no conflict here.

Why not leave the lines you like at the mast there and lead to the cockpit (or not) the ones you want in the cockpit?

Re: Pros and cons of leading halyard and reef lines to cockpit?

Boats with in-mast mains do not seem to carry any extra ticket.

Converting is only worth considering when replacing the stick. Which is never for most boats.

Re: Pros and cons of leading halyard and reef lines to cockpit?

I have only seen a handful of problems with in mast reefing.

One time it was an old and bad system (add-on), another case was the crew not controlling the lines and jamming the main.

Re: Pros and cons of leading halyard and reef lines to cockpit?

Michael,

Yes, to you this choice was simple. But others will have their experiences, targets and priorities.
