4.5) Reefing:
A) How to Setup Boom
1. A deadend for the reef line must be
installed (unless 3550 boom is being
used and then you can tie the reef
line around the boom in proper lo-
cation). This will vary in location
depending on the cut of the sail and
the reef location in the sail.
2. To determine the location of the
deadend, lower the mainsail at the
dock to the reef position. Place tack
reef cringle on reef hook provided at
gooseneck. Stretch sail tight by
pulling on the clew reef cringle
towards the outhaul. Mark position
of clew reef cringle on boom when
sail is tight. From this mark, measure
4” towards outhaul and mark on
boom. At this point, install an eye-
strap (Kenyon SM-225-2) using (2)
10-24 x ~“ round head machine
screws. An alternative deadend can
also be a grommet installed by your
sailmaker in the foot tape of the
mainsail in the same location as
described for the eyestrap.
3. Use similar method to locate second
reef deadend point.
• SEE FIGURE #3 -
B) Rigging the Reef Line
1. Take reef line from outhaul casting up through clew reef cringle and back down to the
eyestrap on boom (tie bowline in eyestrap).
Alternative method: Take reef line from outhaul through clew reef cringle back down and
around boom. Pass end line through grommet in foot tape of main and tie figure eight knot or
timber hitch.
2. Use similar method to rig second reef line (use available second outside sheave in outhaul
casting).
