Even though I do not have any bad experience with in-boom or in-mast reefing systems, I do not fully trust a system where I cannot see or easily reach the central components. Plus, I have witnessed quite a number of problems with the in-systems on other boats, usually of the same nature: the system jammed in a moment where the crew definitely wanted the sail to be taken in.

I apologize for my mixing up the words "leech" and "luff", but luckily enough I found a good description with graphics of the "lacing line method" here: |

oops -- maybe I used the wrong terminology. There certainly is nothing hydraulic involved.

Interesting thread; I'm learning a fair bit! If you are ordering a new boom, have you considerd all the "options" you may want with it? E.g. Cockpit light ( a bit tartie I know but I'd love a couple for late night drinking/reading) eyes for preventers, end fitting for using as a davit (eg lifting outboards etc) . I'm sure there are a host of other considerations? I only mention as everytime we order something, I seem to miss something I would like to have had if I'd known! I'd be interested to know the configuration for powering your electric winches. Whilst we sail as a family most of the time, when it comes to "grinding" its generally me! Cheers Adrian |
