hole on the left and secure them with a knot on the under-
side. Leave plenty of slack so that they do not inhibit the
normal movement of the sail.

- Fig. 287.
- Run the reefing lines through the 1 mm Ø holes in the
claws at the front end and tie knots in both ends.
- Attach the schooner sail in a similar manner using the
lacings 30.16 and 30.17.

Coiling up the ropework
- Once the throat halyard and peak halyard have been set
correctly and belayed, the free ends can be coiled up and
secured.
- The picture sequence 291 A - C shows the procedure:
starting from the belaying pin leave about 10 - 12 cm of the
halyard free, then wind up the remainder over two fingers
- A.
- Wind the free length twice through the loop - B, holding the
loop together so that it cannot come loose.
- This process produces a coil of rope which can be hung
over a belaying pin - C.
