It's absolutely something that should be working on a charter boat, but my anxiety about squalls taught me very quickly that if you can see one coming, you should reef. No gauge required. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />
If you don't reef at the proper wind speeds on a cat, you can break things. On a mono, it will just heel over to relieve the stress.

When we chartered with Horizon we always had to wait for the hull inspection upon return before we could get our deposit back.
