Not dreaming just saying to race effectively you need that crew on a 35mkII and when you got that crew you can carry full main into a higher apparent wind before reefing. So regarding the original question about when to reef crew weight has an effect. IMHO it is advantageous to have all main sail reefing lines lead to the cockpit including a line to secure the tack cringle.
