What we have is 4 lines running to the cockpit. This allows us to put  
in both reefs without going to the mast. At the boom the line does go 
around the boom before going forward and turning down and back. No 
cleats on the boom with this system just turning blocks. At the mast the 
lines just go down to a turning block and back to the cockpit..We love 
this system even though it is a lot of lines to run it works great.
