all rope halyards instead of rope to wire

Block for reef line?

The block on the sail is for the reef line. I have a block mounted on the front and rear grommets. Cuts a lot of friction. The unused clutch position on the port side is for another reef line.

Grant,
I like the idea of using a block for the reef line on the mail. What block manufacturer did you go with, what size of block and how did you secure the block? It looks like you used a line double backed?
Thanks,
KJ

Reef Blocks

Kevin,

These work great!. Super light weight and no metal to get hit with when dropping or raising sail. I used Harken 29 mm Carbo Ti-Lite #351. They come with tying instructions and line. I fastened them to rings on the other side of the sail.
