INTERNAL REEF LINES WITH END BOOM SHEAVES
Starting from the sheave at the outboard end of the boom, thread the reef line up between
the two halves of the cover zipper and through the reef grommet itself. Then, pass the line
down through the top of the cover, inside the acrylic portion, and out the slit provided in the
foot of the cover. Go around the boom and back through the slits in the cover and foot of
the sail, and tie off to itself. (A rolling hitch works well.)
EXTERNAL REEF LINES
Make sure the reef block is positioned well aft of the clew itself. When reefed, the clew reef
line should pull down and back. Follow same path as for internal lines.
REEFING
Reef normally, securing the new tack first, then the new clew. Once the new tack and clew
are secure the sail is reefed. The two sides of the cover can be zipped at the luff, just as it
is when the sail is at full hoist.
