Reefing a Sailboat – HTML5 Animations
Just posting here some fun and helpful animations of reefing the sails.
The animation below represents where sails must be lowered. In the case of the headsail, it needs to be replaced with a smaller sail. Remember, the higher the number, the smaller the sail.
This specific one represents where the boat is fitted with furling headsail and mainsail
