I know there have been many postings recently regarding reefing of the main. Can anybody send me some step by step either pictures or diagrams on how to reef an O'Day 23. I asked the previous owner, and his response was I never reefed her. I asked a neighbor with a similar boat and received the same reply. When I attended sailing school last year, we reefed with a reef hook. I understand why you reef, I understand the reef points and how to wrap and secure the extra sail. Without the hook, I just do not know how to secure the new tack created when reefing. This is my first sailboat, so any help would be appreciated. Also, if my terminology is off please be patient. With all of the recent postings regarding reefing, I feel it is essential to fully understand this procedure before setting out with the family.
