Taking a Reef Downwind in 30 knots - R2AK

1 videos on DIYdact

Satchel and Tanguy took a reef in our main as it looked like the wind was increasing and might reach 35 gusting 40. In the end we didn't see this so after a couple of hours, we shook the reef out. The wind stabilized around 28 knots gusting 32 and the full main did a good job at getting the boat on good surf. The reef lowered the boat's ability to surf which ultimately loaded the rig more.
