Just run the line up,thru the cringle, then down around the boom an tie a
bowline to fasten the end around the boom. This gives you the benefit of a 2
part reef line. The bowline end should be located underneath the cringle. It
will stay there by itself. I've assumed you have a loose footed main. I not,
have your sailmaker sew a slot in the foot to accommodate the bowline.
Works great for me.

Subject: Stus-List 33ii mainsail reefing
Evening all.
Am wondering what I am doing a bit wrong here...
I have a 33ii with jiffy reefing lines run inside the boom. They exit at
the end of the boom (alongside the out haul) where they are then run up to
their respective cringles. I have simply used a stop knot in the cringle,
as there is no place to attach the bitter end on the boom after being rove
through the cringle.
Due to the geometry involved, the sail sets poorly and the boom sags, as the
line does not pull the cringle down tight to the boom, only out toward the
end of the boom. I'm sure I'm missing something simple ....
Any suggestions? Many thanks!
Dave
