We raced today in a real blow and I was reminded to ask how others rig their 
reefing lines.  I have a single reef point in my main and outhaul and reefing 
line both exit the pulleys on the end of the boom.  When I want to reef, I have 
generally run the reefing line up to the cringe, down and around the boom and 
tied it to the boom. I have found it to be really difficult to pull the new 
clew down and back to flatten the sail in both directions.  It seems like it 
should work, but I am not sure if there is a better way.   How do others rig 
for reefing?  Dave
