Here we are rigging a reef line while underway. We had swapped the laminate main sail out for the Dacron main sail before leaving the dock, because it was quite windy and the Dacron sail is more robust. But we didn't rig the second reef line properly and had to pull it out in order to raise the sail. So here we are sailing under the first reef, while I climbed onto the boom to re-rig the second reef. I’m wearing a climbing harness attached to the spinnaker halyard for safety.

View out the cabin portlights on the Precision P-18 while sailing Eleven Mile Reservoir in Colorado. Opening portlights are an unusual feature on such a small sailboat. Great for keeping cool while sailboat camping on the lake. The portlights are Lewmar size 0, have available fly screens and come standard on most model years of the Precision 18.
