hi wally
the furler is not used for reefing..if the wind gets that high i would use my
genny..ive been told by doyle that the max windspeeds with the sail are 8kts
on a close reach, 12kts on a beam reach and 18kts on a run...as for flying it
without a furler...its possible but would require someone on the
foredeck...it may be possible to use a sock with it but ive never used one
and im not sure of the room needed at the masthead for the sock since the
sail is inside the forestay....perhaps someone with a sock can comment on
that...hope this helps
best
tom
