Patrick,
I have a similar system on my 35/3, but rather than having a slide stop I
have a metal plate (a gate) that (sort of) allows the slides to stay in the
slot while dropping to the boom. That allows me to use the horn. A rigger
can make a plate that screws on and eliminates the stop.
As
A gate is easy to build and fit to the mast to allow the slides to go all
the way down to the gooseneck. You might have to modify it a bit to fit
your track.

I have some questions on reefing. I know the basics, but want to get more
advanced so that it's easy even in challenging conditions. Especially learning
any handling characteristics
Down wind in following seas with big waves can be a work out. I've never
heard of anyone reefing on a downwind run. You must have had a lot of
wind. When i sail downwind, wing and wing in big waves i always set a
preventer.
Most CCs don't have keels that make up a significant length of the
Thanks, good tips here.
I want to minimize going forward. So using the topping lift is probably not
something I'm going to do. Unless that were run back to the cockpit, but
that seems excessive and I'd need to add clutches.
I don't mind going forward in conditions with moderate or low waves, but

Difficulty reefing was the one of the few sail handling issues we had on
our cruise of
As mentioned above, It is a combination of apparent wind and comfort level.
If you are a cruiser then I would consider heaving to then reefing the
main. The boat will be relatively flat and comfortable when you work on
setting the reef. I used to do this when single/short handed and it was

I reef hove to by preference. The boat sits pretty quietly with the main
slacked off and the jib backed, no problem at all and a much easier
platform to work from.
