For those with slab-reefing mains, 59% have two reefs, 38% have three reefs and 3% have only one reef. Asked what are the appropriate number of reef points for a boat sailing offshore with a slab-reefed main, 67% said three,\u00a0 22% said two and 11% said four.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
