Hi I have a catalina 310
I am after some advice on the reefing system
I have used the single line reefing system a few times now is a stiff breeze and when I reef there seams to be a lot of load on the eyelet on the luff where the line first pulls down ? all most pulling the eye out of the sail
I have been keeping the stoper bolt in the mast to stop the lugs falling out but this is where all the load is building up . I am thinking about putting a track gate on the mast so the slugs can go lower and not fall out
any one done this ?
