Skeltic (Keltic Marine) Help

Do I do this before easing the mast? 

Don´t know what "easing the mast" is?

4) this got me thinking with no roller furler and no reefing setup not much I can do to de-power… I guess I need 2 sets of sails and small top tube for the mast so I can have normal and “oh shit it’s windy”?  Should I put a small furler on it?  

Ncik is right! Did a simple calculation and the Skeltic has a higher design wind than 470 and 29er, but lower than a 420. So no reason for two set of sails or a furler. If you absolutely want less SA, just wind the jib around the forestay before you go out. As balance will be affected, also angle the daggerboard rearwards to keep the CoE and CLR relationship.
