Nice. I see the boom is back. Why not use the main without the boom instead of the spare jib used in the previous video. You said the jib was too small to provide enough pull but the main should do the trick.

Thanks Jacques!
I know! This is something I will have to experiment! It was working great on my Piper!
There are no reef points on my main, unlike my Piper main who had two sets of reef points (I could reef by rolling the foot of the sail on itself). My Tanzer has the old boom rolling reefing system. So , if I would have to reef, I would have to simply change sails!
I will do it soon!

I tried it and.... No!....
It was great on my Piper at the time. But on sailing dinghy, you don't want to cleat the sheet. And the main is a handfull on my boat going boomless! It works but it is not the kind of experience I personaly enjoy! Now just add the jib and you gat quite a workload! Case closed!....
