Storm Jib
A storm jib (8 sq. m.) is required only at
wind strengths in excess of Force 8.
The sheet is routed through the cars on the
short tracks between the shrouds and the
mast, and then to the side winches in the
cockpit.
Sail handling
The sail area of the DEHLER 35 CWS can
be adapted extremely efficiently to different
wind conditions. The roller furling system for
the headsail and Dehler quick-reef system
for the mainsail facilitate easy adjustment of
the sail area. Use the table as a guide only
– it may be possible or necessary to deviate
from this, depending on sea state and wind.
With one reef, the area of the mainsail is
reduced to 26.9 sq. m, and to 15.3 sq. m.
with two reefs. Rolled up to the batten, the
high-aspect jib is only 13.9 sq. m. in area.
In light winds you can use the Genaker.
