Posted By: Manny Rubin Date: 2/8/10 8:09p.m. Report: outside forum guidelines In Response To: my lateen reef points are a problem... (pic) (John Madill WWP15 Mackinac Dreamer) Hi John, Looking at the 2 reef points added,I think the remedy might be as follows. Add Lazy jacks to capture your sail. If you can,add 2 reef points forward of the leech grommet, but not past the mast. I don't think the luff grommet will do anything for you. This way even though the reef points didn't radiate,you still can reef and flake the sail. The photo below has one lazy jack. Years later I made a set of lazy jacks coming from the mast Manny Rubin Original owner of 1976 Aquarius 21, Barnegat Bay, N.J. and 1984 P15 Just had 19 inches snow Sat,waiting for another 12 Wed..
