Luan/Bill Burton, E30+ in Sheboygan, WI
Lots of info on this forum, and vids on YT, about Reefing. But mostly about when to reef, slab vs roller, single line vs double, etc. My Q is more basic. My ‘84 E30+ has a standard rig and North Sails main, slug foot, two reefs. The luff cringles are difficult to stretch onto the Rams horn—either one can barely reach over the stack of slugs on the mast, to reach the horn. We can do it when the sail is neatly flaked, by pushing the one flake with the cringle through and across to the opposite side of the boom. Is this proper technique? I assume you don’t want to remove slugs or the gate blocker (name?) from the track. TIA
