Well, after a great cruise up the East Coast on a very big boat... we arrived home yesterday and I figured that I needed to go and sail Off The Wind. Nice low 70's day with decent winds expected. Arrived around 10 AM to 12+ mph that were building. Around noon the winds had picked up to over 18 and it was time to reef. I furled the Genoa, pointed into the wind, dropped the main, caught the reefing hook and pulled the halyard tight. Now for the new clew reefing arrangements. I pulled the line and slicker than snot the reef clew came down to the boom and stayed there. Cool Tied off the two sail ties and voila, reefed. I sailed for 2 more hours and it held just fine. I think I was over 20 mph with some gusts but with the reef in the main and 1/2 furled Genoa, I was balanced. Needless to say I am very pleased with the new reefing arrangement and would highly recommend it as a great mod to the Eclipse. Fair winds all.
