My reefing lines run from the end of the boom through the grommet and are tied to the boom. The end boom position keeps the foot tight. I tried a dog-bone and low friction ring, but the bone was too short and pulled out of the grommet. I'm going to try a cunningham hook on the second reef so I don't have two lines flying in the breeze.
I use Dyneema reefing lines with covers where they hit the clutches. 1/4 inch is plenty strong.
