I am in the process of refurbishing my boom and am rethinking the reefing system.
Originally there were two 2ft sections of T-track on each side of the end of the boom for the internal reefing lines to go up to the reef clew and back down to a track car where they are secured. I have seen systems where the lines come down and are simply tied around the boom.
I need to fill in some low spots where corrosion was removed from around the original mounting holes for the T-track and was thinking it might be simpler to just leave the track off and go with the tie method; seems like it would accomplish the same thing.
Looking for pros and cons to either system.
