I don’t like to sail under the jib alone, either and this was the reason for getting 2 reef points in my main. Different boat, but this allows for much better balanced sailplan.

I don't like sailing under headsail alone, but would rather balance the sailplan, play the main sheet in the puffs and tweak the Main's twist and shape with the baby stay, outhaul, traveller. vs many boats I've sailed the 33-2 is so responsive you can feel the impact of minor changes. Really looking forward to flying my new main this season. Keeping the helm light (balance) and the boat on its its feet (not overpowered) works best for me. First I reef, then I furl, but I really hate the Furler as a sail reduction device. According to the sailbags, I have a #1 and #3. There have been times I wished I had one in between, and it would probably be useful. Don't know how these equate in terms of % of foretriangle. Anyone know this for a 33-2? Several listers referred me to the "maximum sailpower" blog awhile back, and that was an eyeopener into many finer points of sail trim and design that I did not fully appreciate. Looking forward to some warmer weather here.... Dave 33-2 Windstar Toronto area.
