Good morning to everybody,
My brother is fitting a roller reefing forestay on his steel, Sciarrelli designed, mast-head rigged, 13.5 m ketch Raireva.
Ordering the new genoa, he wonders how much is the best overlap - or foot length - to go for.
The boat has also a removable inner forestay were a smaller jib can be hanked on.
All suggestions and comments will be welcome and carefully considered as, once the sail is made, there is no room for changing mind.
Many thanks for the answers, have nice sailings.
