Also arrange the reefs in your main so you don't have to drop slugs to get the deep reef in. Hoisting the tri-sail on a tensioned strop is also a great way to avoid hassle.

I have a reefing blade and reefing jib. They're the bees knees. Also detachable inner forestay is good for the storm jib.

Mine is very simple. Its all built from E glass. Two gudgeons bolted to the transom. In longer races I bolt the cassette onto the stern. The plan, if it was to be used is to simply drop the board down the cassette. Trying to get a pintle pin through two holes in a seaway, lying on your stomach on the cockpit floor isn't something I was planning for. When your steering fails the solution needs to be simple, quick, require minimal physical exertion and work! Haven't got pic but you're welcome to view.

I use a cassette on the transom with a drop in blade. The jockey pole is the tiller. You can borrow it if you would like.

Looking for twenty boats next year.
