    Main- have anyone of you modified your main to reduce weatherhelm? I'm looking at this option since my main is the newest sail and still in good condition.

    Yankee- have anyone of you had a reef sewn in your yankee? If so what percentage does the reef remove from the sail? Are you satisfied with your reef and do you reef it often? If I were racing I would simply get 2 different size sails, but this not the case, I' studying different options.

    Thanks for your help in these matters,

    Jean

    Norm,

    Are you recommending 0 degress or possibly negative rake for a W32?

    Norm,

    Thanks for the insight, Just stepped the mast Friday and looking for a good baseline to work from. plenty of time to tweak it later.

    Page A-1 of my Westsail Service Manual has a procedure for setting and tuning the mast on a W32.
