Thanks for the comments. I have another question, however. The Goblin had roller-reefing around the boom, which meant one had to disengage the mast hoops as one rolled the sail down. This seems horribly inconvenient; moreover, reversing the process to shake out a reef seems even worse! Does anybody know whether the "Nancy Blackett" has this type of reefing?
