(Charley P14#729) Hi Charley, I can't get a photo at this time. As soon as this crazy weather in the east moderates I'll put my boat in the slip. Waiting for 48 - 50'. Definitely at the end of March,sometimes earlier. My set up as described might sound complicated,but it's basically 2 diagonal lines,parallel,attached near the aft end of the boom with clips.Mid-way on the diagonal 2 lines dropping vertically with clips support the mid boom area.Easy to set-up and breakdown. As to the reef installation,I put in 3 reef points on a diagonal,so that when reefed the reef points are horizontal. To start, I use insignia tape,in a diamond shape,a patch on both sides of the sail,added a grommet to each,and reef lines.Finis. Hope this helps. The photo take of the P15 in the slip years ago had a single line amidship,acting as a lazy jack and guide when lowering the sail. Manny 1976 Aquarius21(original owner) and P15, Barnegat Bay,N.J.
