Not sure if I am suffering from a mental block, or if there are pieces missing from my standing rigging, but I would like some help in getting the rigging for reefing the Capri 18 (1987) done correctly.
1) On the starboard side of the boom I have a block positioned near the gooseneck, and another block near the clew. No pad eyes or cleats on this side.
2) On the port side of the boom I have a pad eye close to the clew, a cleat about 1/3 of the toward the mast and then another cleat closer to the mast.
Reading the manual, I'm just not sure if I have everything in the right place, or if I should be using 2 separate reefing lines, or just 1, as the diagram refers to a pad eye and cleat on the starboard side that do not exist on my setup.
Does anyone have the patience to explain this to me, preferably with some pictures?
