Using the tack-tackle
This system allows you to move the position of the center of effort of your sail and to shift the whole sail from one side of the mast to the other. Lowering the center of effort will allow you to reduce the heeling angle of the boat, without reducing the surface area of your sail.

Reduction
The Papillion sail is partial arc of a circle which can be reduced only at the aft end of the boom. No need to low down the sail with the halyard, all you need to do is let the tack-tackle out to low down the boom. The reduction of sail area takes only a few seconds and is much safer and easier than any other rig.
