<DIV><FONT face=Arial>Mr. A: I can describe such a system for you, which I have
not quite yet finished installing on # 219. Reefing lines run from
becketted cheekblocks aft on the boom up to the aft reef cringles and down again
to the blocks, then forward on the boom ( through fairleads if necessary) to a
double cheek block (for 2 reefs)on the front of the boom (or on the mast--we
shall see)and up through the front cringles. From there, the lines go to the
base of the mast to turning blocks, then to an "organizer" on the front of
the starboard main cabin roof, then to two cam cleats near the aft end of the
starboard cabin roof. By the way--a series of possibilities for mainsheet
reefing were published in Practical Boat Owner, September 2000, which you may
find useful. The system I describe is the same as illustrated somewhere in
there, except that there is no track for using movable cheek blocks
aft on the boom, as I could see no real benefit--given the propensity for
reefed mainsails to set poorly regardless of hardware flexibility.
