Hi. Would love to get thoughts from others on reefing.
I have the roller furling main and standard 110% jib.
Not sure if its best to sail flat, or heeled, and if so at what angle is optimal. Generally I've been reefing the main 1/3 at about 15 knots, and then main to 1/2 and jib to 1/3 at about 20 knots. I don't seem to really get any sort of lee helm doing this, if anything there's a bit of weather helm. Seems to sail best heeling around 15 degrees.
Would appreciate hearing other's experience.
