I'd like to improve the balance of my Memory 19's rig. A reefed main leaves the jib too strong. I only one (full size) jib, with a roller furl (not really a reef). Does anyone with same/ similar boat have any experience of a successful solution (or suggestion)? Perhaps a smaller jib to change to when reefing main? Ideally a clever(er than my basic w/m roller) system which allows you to properly reef/ furl the jib. Presumably needs a solid luff?
While asking, I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has a Memory 19 (I sail out of Butley, near Orford, Suffolk) and has experience they'd like to share of getting their boat rigged to their satisfaction (or would like to empathise with someone who hasn't). I've had my Memory for approx 8 years and while she sails beautifully, going single handed in anything other than a light breeze is a challenge. I'm sure it could/ should be easier than this, but have never had a chance to ogle another Memory up close to see how it might be better done.
Many thanks, Ben
