Very simple and effective system I have

1)      Ease sheet and vang.  Take up on topping lift so end of boom does not 
come too far down.

2)      Lower main halyard – insert reef point into horn attached to boom at 
mast – tighten halyard

3)      Take up on reef line.  Line is attached to port boom a few inches aft 
of reef point, goes up through cringle, back down to starboard turning block 
also a few inches aft of reef point then forward to winch on boom.  Loosen 
sheet and vang and topping lift as needed.  Winch tight, cleat.  (Note:  
outhaul uses same winch and is held by jam cleat aft of winch)

4)      Trim vang and sheet

 

Easy
