[Public-list] Reefing lines

[edward schroeder]

Yes Mike; Our main is not cut back; it is designed for jiffy reefing. Thanks for the reply, anyway. Ed. Schroeder

Your boat is close in vintage to mine-#220. The bottom 
section of the luff is cut back to accomodate roller 
furling; You may have a later main designed only for jiffy 
reefing, but on mine the sail slides are attached to the 
main by way of a 3/8" line. That line is slacked off when 
reefing-keeping the slides on the track.

The slides are in the bights of the line formed between 
cringles on the sail.

Man, that's a lot of weird terminology. A picture is 
worth...

Hope this helps
