Dave,We rigged a block and tackle inside the boom then the tail out the boom to a cleat on the side of the boom It gave the purchase needed to get the clew down and tight. Worked on the 29. Cheers,Hank

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 S/V Aries1990 C&C 34+New London, CT
