350 reefing lines

[Richard Vallee]

New to boating, we bought the boat last year. This past weekend I went to reef the main and I could not find any way to secure the leach. There is an eye put no hook or lines. Can someone send me a picture/site as to how this is rigged?
Thank you.

Richard, if the link above works, it will show you a diagram for a "jiffy reefing system". If the link doesn't work, google that and click on images.
The eye in the leech is typically used for this type of reefing system. I am currently installing one on my Newport 28.
Hope this helps,
ST

Thank you for the info. Looks like I will have to either add a Floppy hook or another block and line for the Luff.
