I can visualize a boomless main with the clew controlled at the traveller, 
but I am having trouble visualizing the full range of sail trim.  How do you 
reef?  How do you make a tight sail for good laminar flow in zephers.  How do 
you bag it out in moderately light winds?  How do you keep the foot of the 
main stretched out when broad reaching or running?
