Heh. I am a JRA member too. Well worth it so far.

As far as a well tested easy reefing soft wing sail?  David Tyler did that on his Ketch Tystie - scroll to the bottom of the link for a pix.  Also this blog discusses a supposedly simpler revision of that design that David had started looking into, but not built (to my knowledge).

For discussion of the original design here is a boat design post chain.  Get a cuppa before siting in to read it as it is just a bit long.
