Dear Chief,
My jib has 69 sq ft and has a quick dousing system. Does it need to have reefing points?,
Thanks,
Stemburn
Jib reefing?

Re: Jib reefing?
Here is the Reefing Rule regarding Headsails:
So a usable dousing system is OK. However, a roller reefing system for headsails can be very convenient. But it is up to you which one works best for your vessel.Headsails may use roller furling, roller reefing and/or dousing system that can be safely and efficiently
operated from the cockpit or main trampoline.

So, to be sure, I have a 50 sq ft jib, I will have 3 jib sails, I plan on reducing sail area by changing sails to 34 sq ft and then 18 sq ft. OK?
