Did I mess up?
We are buying new sails this year - and they 're about done. We opted for 2 deep reefs in the main. Should we have gone for 3?
We will be sailing across oceans (starting with the Atlantic next year) and have plans to do some high latitude sailing in 3 or 4 years time. We do have a trisail and storm jib, so my rationale was we 'd reef the main to 47% on the second reef and then launch the trisail for stronger winds.
Good move or stupid?
