Merge suggestion[edit]
I suggest the article Jiffy reefing be merged into this one, it's not comprehensive enough to warrant an article on its own, and I can't see it being expanded to anything more than a decent section of the main Reefing article. If no objections in a week, I'll merge them myself. --Canley 09:55, 10 July 2006 (UTC)
Square rigged reef?[edit]
This article doesn't discuss how a square-rigged ship would reef its sails. It'd be great if someone could expand it. Jaddle 20:50, 10 July 2007 (UTC)
What about double reefing? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.45.65.38 (talk) 10:57, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Reefing only means reducing sail area?[edit]
The article leads by saying the reefing means reducing the sail area. So what do you call increasing it? Is it not called "reefing out"?--Timtranslates (talk) 15:04, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
- I've never heard that term used -- I think it's generally "taking the reef out," or, per the reference, "shaking it out." NE Ent 13:40, 3 April 2016 (UTC)
Missing vocabulary[edit]
I understand that reefing a sail is often done with Gasket (sailing). —Jerome Potts (talk) 08:16, 30 May 2020 (UTC)
