Allen to your question: Main
- outhaul - cunningham - backstay tensioner (mech) - fixed baby stay (which I am going to remove to the mast) - cabin top traveler - boom vang - Fisherman's reef - 1st, 2nd, 3rd reefs - halyard tenshion Head - backstay tensioner - adjustable cars - Halyard tension - Roller furler (but we change headsails depending on conditions and don't partially furl much) I'm not a Volvo racer, but I do race weekly on a variety of keel boats (racing to Hawaii July 12, Pac Cup), and can manage sail shape. Granted my sails are tired, and the 30-2 is a great boat albeit a bit tender. How much crew do you have on the rail when racing?
