Although in modern day terminology we might use the term Whirling Dervish of someone who is seen to be dashing about hurriedly to get things done; the real Whirling Dervishes are members of the Mevlevi Order which was founded in the city of Konya in present day Turkey by the followers of 13th century poet, theologian and mystic Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Balkhi-Rumi also known as Mevlana Celaleddin-i Rumi. In what is essentially an act of worship, the Mevlevi Dervishes in their long white costumes, perform their whirling dance as part of the ceremony which is known as Sema and also includes singing, dancing, playing musical instruments and poetry recitals. For those taking family holidays in Turkey, it is an experience not to be missed.

It is said that the practice of whirling originated from Balkhi-Rumi’s occasional habit of spinning around in sheer joy and ecstasy in the streets of Konya, and that the aim of turning first slowly and then with ever-increasing speed is to put the dancers into a trance-like or meditative state which takes them closer to God. As they perform this mesmerising ritual, they are accompanied by chanting and music, and those attending one of their performances during their family holidays in Turkey are certain to be awestruck and captivated by the sheer speed at which they move.

As visitors on family holidays to Turkey will no doubt learn, the Mevlevi,or Whirling Dervishes, were only one of many orders of Dervishes (brotherhoods or religious sects known for their extreme poverty and austerity) to exist in latter day Persia; the Bektashi order being another of the very famous ones. Throughout the centuries, however, successive rulers put an end to all but the Mevlevi order. It belongs to the orthodox mainstream of Islam, allowing it to survive, albeit mainly because the organisation was a non-political one and the Sema ceremony is such a tourist attraction. Different orders practised their own separate and distinct rituals which also included dancing, but the Mevlevi order was unique in its whirling dances.

Every sailor at one time or another will need to reef the mainsail. Done right, and assuming your boat is well rigged for reefing, the exercise will result in a more balanced boat in windier conditions.There are several reefing designs like slab reefing using a Jiffy Reef type system and on the more modern boats many are coming with in-mast or in-boom mainsails. To reef these types of systems it is simply a matter of cranking in the mainsail inside the mast or boom until the desired amount is left. These are easy and efficient but typically the sail shape is not as good particularly in in-mast systems since batons are not an option.

The majority of cruisers though have the traditional and time tested slab reefing. Below are a few simple points in helping you with a successful reef of your mainsail.

The mainsail should first be eased by releasing the mainsheet slowly. Make sure all the wind is spilled from the sail and the boom being supported by the topping lift. Also make sure the boom vang is eased and there is not tension on it. Some boats have solid boom vangs that hold up the boom instead of a topping lift, however.

Next, uncleat the main halyard and ease the sail down until the reef point you want is at boom level. Different boats have different number of reef points. Some have only one and others have two or three. The luff reef cringle is then pulled down by hooking it in a ram’s horn on the mast. Some boats have reef lines that can be pulled and cleated for the correct tension.The leech reef line should then be adjusted pulling the leech cringle tightly to the aft of the boom. The topping lift can now be released and the mainsail trimmed and the boom vang retightened.
