My Ericson 26 (1987) came exist with Isomat mast and boom. The diagrams for the boom's internal reefing arrangement do not match what I seem to have. The current set-up seems to lack the forward lines (or access for same) that can allow for single handed reefing. There are two lines (Reef 1 and Reef 2) that travel back to the cockpit and thus can easily be bent onto the clue cringles. These allow me to reef the aft portion of the main, but not their forward area. Thus, the problem is that I still need to go forward to the tack to arrange reefing there. Please offer any suggestions for resolving this, or in forwarding me to sites or other resources that can help. Thanks.
