Anyone any thoughts on roller reefing onto the boom. There's a video from Inmon Yachts that looks tempting. Jim Rotheram
Hi Jim
Adrian is the man to ask, he has a full roller boom system on his X.
It's expensive, and you may need a new sail as well so the battens don't foul.
You can rig a standard sail with single line reefing for a lot less, with reef lines and halyard back to the cockpit. Makes reefing easy!

thanks Rick That sounds a more sensible option Jim
