You cannot reef model sails, so you have to change sails or the complete rig to a smaller one (from A-Rig to B or C) with less mast height and sail area.
With IOM it is not allowed to change keel fin and/or lead bulb, but with Micro Magic or Saphir it is recommended to do this.
The Saphir in the film has mounted a C-rig and a deeper keel fin for stronger winds.

Nice to see the boats sailing without the distraction of so-called dramatic or hip music.
