DE TRYSAIL
If you make a long trip with any regularity it is a consideration to buy a 3e reef with extra reinforced corners, pull straps and press sleeves in the mainsail. This allows you to further reduce your mainsail in very strong winds.
In very extreme situations, you may prefer to reduce sail even more. For such situations, the advice is to have a trysail on board. A try sail is usually carried on a separate rail on the mast next to the rail for the mainsail. The top is hoisted to the mainsail halyard and the clew is attached to an eye on the deck.
