I have had my new P-19 out again today for the second time and am
getting use to it's behavior but have not tried the jiffy reefing, this
may sound like a dumb question but I'm not sure how to route the jiffy
line. The pictures in the owners manual look like someone was doodleing
and got interupted. I looked in my sailing book but it doesn't tell
where to tie stuff off. Please help! before I need it. Going sailing
again tomorrow! BTW I have the autopilot and what I do is hold a course
into the wind ( when singlehanded) while slowly running the motor to
raise and lower the sails, I made this up and don't know if this is a
good thing to do. I don't have the furling system, just main and lapper.
How do you folks do it? Thanks soooo much!
