Hi Judy (or anyone who has thoughts on this), I used your guide for running lines aft and it works great (thanks!). I have a few quick questions though. I notice you use two lines for each reef. Some sources say you can jiffy reef with one. Have you tried that? It was my original intent to go that direction but wondered why you stuck with two. Also, would you have any pics of how your reef lines are routed at the front of the boom or on the mast? It seems to me that they might restrict movement of the boom the way I am picturing it. Lastly, I find it hard to use my boom vang even with it angled up as much as possible. Has anyone removed the cam from their vangs and led the lines aft using the organizer and rope clutches? Thanks Judy and everyone! David
