I had a new main sail made and had a third reef point added. Does anyone have experience with setting up the down haul and associated lines for a third reef? I was thinking of a cheek block installed on the boom leading back to a cleat but that would mean it has to be muscled down and cleated which may be difficult in any conditions which would require the third reef in the first place.. Another option is to run the down haul to the mast base organizer, through a block and run it back to a clutch and then to an available winch. Any comments or suggestions or better yet, photos of someone who has already gone through this exercise ? I'm all ears!
