Does reefing a standard laser sail damage the sail? I have reefed my sails for over 20 years and have noticed no ill effects.
Dick Tillman's book The Complete Book of Laser Sailing (and its older versions), describes reefing as a way to depower in high winds.
Recently I was told NEVER reef the sail, it damages it. But I can find no reference to damage on any laser forum posting
