I went sailing with friends recently in heavy air and the winds built to 35 to

No question, it would be great to hear form the people who design these masts,
but I don’t believe that in a normal boat, the mast would be weakened by
dropping the main

I would love to hear Mr. Ball chime in on this thread, if possible, from a mast
design point of view. I have been told by a very experienced offshore sailor
and the instructor of Offshore Sea Survival courses, that the masts are
designed to have a mainsail
Morgan, I would say that this instructor is sort of right. Those four-spreader
racing noodles are designed to have a main on...and that sail probably won't
have a reef, even. The main does support the mast to a large extent. Those
boats shouldn't be going out in strong offshore conditions.
Morgan, I have heard this also, but I believe it depends on the unique
characteristics of the boat/mast. Fireball a C 35 Mk 2 has taken some
