On the LUgger you have 2 set points for reefing on the Gaff, so you lower the gaff when reefing. Others don;t have the little chocs I have, just letting the halyard pull the gaff tight so theoretically I could raise the sail when reefed. Trouble is that in order to reef you need some pretty big conditions on the Lugger or you end up going nowhere!!!
looks really good
Excited to see how it goes!
Enjoying your videos Dave. Just watched 'broad reach home in the rain'
Many thanks for the kind comment. I remember that one, very wet, but there's a wetter one coming!!!
A reef or two will raise the boom.

Ooh, I bet you hit your head on it and moan 😂
Normally the other way round, but still lol 😂
