storm. It appears to virtually eliminate the danger of capsize

from both extreme wave action and hurricane force winds.

Other variations of the above are possible depending on

the circumstances. Experienced and alert racing crews can

delay reefing to even well beyond the above limits.

A quick way to reduce sail, and achieve a very comfort-

able and safe motion is to simply drop the jib and sail under

main only, reefed if considered necessary. This avoids the

need to tack the jib, and the fully battened main remains

docile and easy to handle.

Sometimes, when running downwind, it is better to drop

the main and run under jib only. Corsair built trimarans can

go to windward and tack while sailing under either jib or

mainsail alone.

2. When winds are strong and gusty, and the boat is being

sailed hard, then always have the sheet of the largest sail

up, be it the mainsail, genoa, or spinnaker, in hand,

ready for quick release. Use only the camcleats provided

and never use self-tailers as cleats in high winds - they are

too difficult to release fast.

Always be ready to release the sheets if you feel the boat

is being pressed too hard. Instruct your crew to do likewise.

If concerned, then just reef until you are comfortable.

SAFE SAILING RECOMMENDATIONS

DANGER

Be fully aware that it is possible to

capsize

any multihull

and the following rules should

always be observed for safe sailing:

1. Reduce sail early as follows:

a. Genoa/screacher should be replaced by jib in windspeeds

greater than 12 knots.

b. Main should be reefed to first set of reef points when wind

reaches 20 knots.

c. Main should be further reefed to second reef points when

wind reaches 25 knots.

d. In winds over 35 knots main should be roller reefed to 4th

batten from the top and jib replaced by storm jib

e. Over 50 knots, main should be furled more, or completely,

leaving only the storm jib.

If necessary, all sail can be taken off and a properly set up

Storm Parachute Anchor put out. This is now a well proven

method for a multihull to survive even the worst offshore

This is definitely not safe sailing with a novice crew aboard! The F-27 shown is sailing in 30 knots with full sail, and an

experienced crew. Boat speed reached 23 knots. Note how the main hull bow stays high, while the boat planes on the aft

sections - this is an important safety characteristic of all Farrier designs. It is very hard to bury the bow. DO NOT do this sort

of thing with your family on board. To be safe, always reef early.
