We had 3 reefs on Joint Advenutre. We sailed it a lot with 2 reefs in and a 150 genny out, running down the trades in 20 kts. Rarely used one reef, always reefed at sunset or moonset, we just went from full sail to 2 reefs, and just kept rolling the genny up as needed. We had a trysail but we were never successful at rigging it up, it wasn't made for the boat. We used the 3rd reef in +35kts.
