In strong winds, or if you are unsure whether you can cope with the conditions, it
is always best to reef the sail down to reduce its area.
1) Drop the jib if fitted (see section 4.13) and stow the jib Halyard rope tails in the
pocket by the tack of the mainsail. Your Pico cannot be sailed reefed with the jib
up.
2) Slacken the kicking strap and unclip the large kicker block from the lower mast.
3) Uncleat and slacken the clew outhaul line and ensure that the foot of the sail is
loose.
4) Rotate the mast in either direction by turning the mast below the gooseneck.
This will roll the sail around the mast, thus reducing the sail area. This is reefing.
5) Re-attach the kicking strap but leave it loose.
6) Re-attach the clew outhaul and pull it tight.
7) Re-tighten the kicking strap.
