[C320-list] Second Reef

[Allan Field]

Mike - Given the prevailing winds where I sail, probably 90% of my reefing
is on port tack.  I cross the Bay on a broad reach and return close hauled
which is usually about the time to take a reef.  I never thought of doing so
while still on starboard tack.  Thanks for the tip. - Allan

If I could just add a brief comment to Alan's excellent desription-----we
always reef on starboard tack  as by and large you don't have to worry about
other boats in the vicinity  except perhaps a leeward boat also on starboard
