S/Y Linnea

So today we moved the sheet, stretched the sail more along the battens, added some bamboo to the boom (lowest batten) and went sailing (third time out now).

It was much better. We tried with downhauls with no reef and with one reef. And it was better. I am not sure about the best place to put it though.

I also think we need a better way to reeve the sheet. We have too much twist while reefed down. We need to have more pull higher up and less lower down.

Here is a picture of the halyard at the yard. You can also see the yard hauling parrell, or Råsling, as we call it in Swedish:
