    Hi all and best wishes for the holidays !

    Using MaxSurf VPP is there a way to limit heel angles, say to 20 degrees for instance ?
    and/or force reefing the sails earlier ?
    In some cases with TWS at 20N i get some equilibrium heel angles over 30 degrees and little reefing (eg 0.98 !) ,
    while i know from navigation experience on similar boats, i would go as fast (if not faster) and certainly with more comfort with more reefing and less heeling.
    Many thanks for your help

    I found one way "around" by modifying the rig data manually as if reefing and try and limit heel angles... but it's rather laborious !
    I imagined there should be a way to reef the sails and/or limit heel angles without touching the initial data.
    Thanks for your suggestions (my command of this software is not really great !)
