[quote=charlescarlis]So, to the earlier question - How the heck do you get the sail back off the hook to lower it? Unless you don't hook it, but that sure would put a bunch of extra stress on the sheave and then you tie off the halyard at the bottom... That would make sense. I have reefing points in my main, but really never tried to figure this part out. Seems like, if reefed this way, it'd be problematic (maybe???) to bend the mast with downhaul. Plus, now your round in your luff is lower on the mast. Does that matter?
I'm liking the idea of a higher aspect ratio sail more and more for high wind conditions/solo sailing.
Edit - I re-read and the securing the halyard, what I see is the thing done.<!-- editby --><em>Edited by charlescarlis on Jan 05, 2021 - 12:21 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
