I think Jon must be right about 'main'. If it helps, here is a fuller quote: A line squall . . was about 200 yards away . . .Too late to reef, we started the motor, headed into the wind and de-powered the mail(n). Three or four minutes later, it was all over . . .
On the basis that it should be 'main', what is going on here? De-powering obviously doesn't mean reefing. Lowering sail altogether?
