 Lee, I found two nice hooks, with good sized eyes,  I bought a long bolt, 
and 
 I bolt them where the tack of the main fits on the forward part of the boom. 
 
 It takes a few minutes to rig in the spring, but after it's tightened, iit's 
 there in the proper position.  Use a nylock nut  I use some big stainles 
 washers.  Heres  the drill,  take, the bolt, put on a washer, put on the 
 hook, insert bolt through the hole, through the clew of the sail, and out 
the 
 other side,  Put on the other hook,  washer, and tighten the nut.
 We run the 1st reef on the starboard hook, the 2nd on the port one..  1st 
and 
 2nd reef blocks and lines are on port side of boom with a small # 6 winch 
 mounted forward.  Sure helps when its blowing
