Talk:Reefing

Merge suggestion
I suggest the article Jiffy reefing be merged into this one, it's not comprehensive enough to warrant an article on its own, and I can't see it being expanded to anything more than a decent section of the main Reefing article. If no objections in a week, I'll merge them myself. --Canley 09:55, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Square rigged reef?
This article doesn't discuss how a square-rigged ship would reef its sails. It'd be great if someone could expand it. Jaddle 20:50, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

What about double reefing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.45.65.38 (talk) 10:57, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Reefing only means reducing sail area?
The article leads by saying the reefing means reducing the sail area. So what do you call increasing it? Is it not called "reefing out"?--Timtranslates (talk) 15:04, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
 * I've never heard that term used -- I think it's generally "taking the reef out," or, per the reference, "shaking it out." NE Ent 13:40, 3 April 2016 (UTC)

Missing vocabulary
I understand that reefing a sail is often done with Gasket (sailing). &mdash;Jerome Potts (talk) 08:16, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
