Genoa sheet leads are critical to the performance of a roller-reefed sail. Certain quality cruisers have inbuilt tackles to set the leads where you want them, and a good thing too. For the rest of us, some other system is needed if we aren’t to have a headsail that looks like a flour-bag and drags us over rather driving us ahead. Here’s an accurate system I’ve devised that solves the problem safely without having to tack after moving the lazy lead.
