This Lug Sail Reefing Setup is a Game Changer

Hey guys! I get asked often how long it takes to reef my GIS's lug sail so I though I should make a quick video showing you, in real time, exactly how long it takes me to put a reef on and how long it takes to shake it out too. Although I'll clock it I I will NOT rush it, I'll do it just as I usually do it when needed. Sea conditions might interfere with time too since if it's really rough one needs to take a bit more care pointing the boat and raising sail but this will give you an Idea. For timing purposes I'll consider "reefing" from the time just before I lower sail to having the sail back up ready to sail. Enjoy! Buy me a coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/theboatr...
