Three, maybe four if it's heavy air. One on helm, one on mainsheet/traveler,
one/two on Genoa. I too have adjustable cars and if we're overpowered, we'll
pull them back and spill off the top of the luff, tension the backstay (mine's
now hydraulic). Rarely touch Genoa luff tension.

Head

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?
Best,
Kevin

Port ring comes down and hooks on the stbd horn and vice versa. Don't try to
imagine the dogbone as coming down and hooking on both horns. You can make
your own dogbone easy with a piece of amsteel and 2 rings.

I, too, carry a 140 genoa, and reef around 12 knots. I like to keep
the boat on its "feet". So, 10 to 15 degree heel is good for me.
Nervous or not, you'll start to feel weather helm at 10 to 12 knots,
and you'll want to reef [the main 1st] to keep up your speed and reduce
pressure on the rudder.
You are correct that this boat is "tender". I believe there is a
chart in the photoalbum archives that documents this as well as the 30-1's
stiffness.
That said, the boat carries a lot of sail area, and it's fast IMO.
Also, I single-hand a lot and typically start with a reef as a
prudent measure.
If you don't already have them on your main, I recommend adding
"dogbones" to your reef points, to make reefing quick and easy [and reduce the
possibility of a rip to your sail; they are cheap].
Give a report on your 1st sail.

Hi Lorne, I carry a 140% headsail on my 30-2. I usually start getting
overpowered upwind at around 12 knots true.
