This clip shows John reefing his lugsail. Notice that the halyard is only used to raise and lower the sail. The roller boom is used to tension the luff because of the mechanical advantage that it provides. Luff tension is essential to the performance of a lug sail. A non stretch halyard is very helpful.
hi man nice boat, may I ask you how you simply sail almost upwind? I have tried and tried but I get dragged by the wind
