NONE
PROXIMATELY 6" (150mm) OF STRETCH IN THE MAIN LUFF
AND MAIN HALYARD WHEN THE REEFING LINE IS TENSIONED,
SO MAKE SURE THAT THIS IS ALLOWED FOR WHEN ADJUSTING
THE MAIN HALYARD TO LOCATE THE TACK REEF BLOCK.
8. ALSO, TENSION THE REEF LINE WITH THE APPROPRIATE SELF-
TAILING WINCH UNTIL THE CLEW REEF CRINGLE IS BROUGHT
DOWN TO THE BOOM.
9. CONFIRM THAT THE TACK REEF BLOCK IS STILL CLEAR OF
THE TACK SHACKLE AND THAT ONLY THE MAIN LUFF
ABOVE THE REEF CRINGLE IS TENSIONED, NOT THE LUFF BE-
TWEEN THE CRINGLE AND THE TOP STACKED SAIL SLIDE. EASE
THE REEF LINE AND READJUST THE HALYARD IF NECESSARY.
10. MARK THE HALYARD AT THE STOPPER WITH A 1"
(25mm) SINGLE BAND OF INDELIBLE MARKER INK. BY
DROPPING THE HALYARD TO THIS MARK EVERY TIME A REEF
IS REQUIRED THE HALYARD IS AUTOMATICALLY IN THE COR-
RECT POSITION FOR THE REEF.
11. REPEAT THE PROCEDURE FOR THE SECOND REEF, USING
DOUBLE BANDS TO MARK THE HALYARD IN THE CORRECT PO-
SITION.
1. HEAD UP INTO THE WIND.
2. EASE THE MAINSHEET AND VANG.
3. CHECK THE TOPPING LIFT FOR ADEQUATE BOOM SUP-
PORT.
1. HEAD UP INTO THE WIND.
2. EASE THE MAINSHEET AND VANG. RELEASE THE TENSION ON
THE TOPPING LIFT. (IF NEEDED)
3. RELEASE THE REEF STOPPER AND REMOVE REEF LINE FROM
WINCH.
1. SHACKLE TACK REEF BLOCKS TO FIRST AND SECOND REEF
TACK CRINGLES.
2. RUN BOTH REEFING LINES AS ILLUSTRATED IN THE BOOM
& REEF LAYOUT. BOTH PORTIONS OF THE REEFING LINE LEAD-
ING TO THE REEF TACK BLOCK MUST RUN THROUGH THE GOOSE
NECK ON THE AFT OF THE SPAR. THE SHORTER
REEF LINE WILL BE USED ON THE FIRST REEF (STARBOARD SIDE,
GREEN) THE LONGER REEF LINE ON THE SECOND REEF (PORT
SIDE, RED.)
3. RAISE THE MAIN SAIL.
4. EASE THE MAINSHEET AND VANG.
5. LOWER THE MAIN SAIL TO APPROXIMATELY THE FIRST
REEF POSITION.
6. TAKE UP THE SLACK IN THE FIRST REEF LINE UNTIL THE
TACK AND THE CLEW ARE DOWN TO ABOUT 2" ABOVE THE BOOM.
7. ADJUST THE MAIN HALYARD SO THAT THE TACK REEF BLOCK
IS NOT CONTACTING THE GOOSE NECK ON THE FRONT
OF THE SPAR AND IS APPLYING TENSION TO THE LUFF OF THE
MAIN ABOVE THE REEF, NOT BELOW. THERE WILL BE AP-
4. LOWER THE MAIN HALYARD TO THE APPROPRIATE MARK,
AND SNUB THE LINE WITH THE STOPPER.
5. TENSION THE REEFING LINE WITH THE SELF-TAILING WINCH
UNTIL THE REEF CLEW IS BROUGHT DOWN TO THE BOOM.
APPLY STOPPER AND TENSION THE MAIN HALYARD BACK UP.
EASE THE TOPPING LIFT. (IF NEEDED)
4. TENSION THE MAIN HALYARD TO RAISE SAIL, MAKING
SURE REEF LINES RUN FREELY WHILE SAIL IS BEING RAISED.
APPLY STOPPER TO MAIN HALYARD.
5. RE-TENSION VANG AND MAINSHEET. EASE THE TOPPING
LIFT. (IF NEEDED)
