(Jack, H23.5,F-5 Clermont, Fl) I love mine on the SANDBOB..BUT.. she is a 19 and when it gets like it was in this photo, being able to take those 4 turns on the lapper and only have to reef the main by hand to a single reef what good. I was alone on this day. However I have never sailed a 15 so it might be easier to just change the headsail with such a small amount of canvas. I am lazy however and if I had a 15 I am sure I would put a CDI on it.
