Maybe it is just me but as being fairly new to sailing I am not sure how to reef the main sail on my 22. I will post pictures of it later on in the week but I have only one more hole in the front of the sail (luff) and that is it. Did they make sails that are not reefable?

Roller Reefing

The 22 has roller Reefing. Pull the boom aft to unlock the goose neck and rool the sail up on the boom. The sail shape in not the greatest but you can make the reef as large or as small as you want.

Regards,

Larry

As Larry describes it is a roller style reefing setup. I've tried it on my O22 in heavy wind and the resulting sail shape is lousy and the clew end of the boom usually sags. Not the best type of reefing system.

I would look into converting it over to Jiffy Reefing.
