When do you reef your ComPac 23?

I bought an Asymmetrical spinnaker and a 135 genoa from JSI.  They, like many sailmakers offer two grades of sails, one would be designed by their loft and then manufactured overseas the other made in their loft.  They represent Hyde and Doyle.  I was very satisfied with my purchase.  I think they are currently ComPac's OEM supplier.

Certainly there is some advantage to having the sailmakers rep measure your boat.  However, in my case there are no sailmakers within a reasonable distance to my boat, so that was/is not going to happen.  However, all the sailmakers generally have the design specs. for the boats in their computers, particularly a ComPac with such volume.  Unless your boat has been dramatically altered for some reason then the measurements should be good.  You can also measure it yourself.  JSI had the boat in their computer but asked me to confirm.

One of the things I really liked about JSI was that I got to watch my spinnaker being made.  They have a web cam and I caught it being started and just left the computer up for the three days while it was being cut and sewn. Just wandered by the computer periodically to check progress.
