In Response To: Re: Roller Reefing (Mark Kanzler)

I don't know if you'd want to do that with a kayak. While you are reducing the sail area and its resulting force, you're also driving it's center of effort further and further up the mast. Which with a tippy boat like a kayak is probably not such a hot idea.
