Given that it's quicker to sail with the sail un-reefed and just to trim it properly it's not so much of a real world problem!

presumably to reef by rolling round mast you would have to remove top batten ?

If it's in the rules surely the PY would stay the same? But, agreed, changing the rig is not reefing.

But PY would stay the same.

And reefing is surely wrapping main around mast, not putting a different mast and sail on.

At every club I've been a member of, they can't.

It's always regarded as a separate entry.

I, again, have a problem when a Laser can change his rig, get a PY increase AND count his result towards a series and I cant sail my singlehander if i can't get a crew and do the same.


But thats another debate :)

Its hardly cheating to sail one class in one race and another class in another race. It would only be cheating if you attempted to deceive the race committee about what you were sailing. If someone wants to come to our club Laser open and sail a Full rig in two races and a Radial rig in two races I don't see there's a problem, but the two boats will be scored separately.

This thread refers to Lasers. In Lasers rig switching is cheating, and also has a negative impact on PYs
