Jiffy reefing the Kenyon Boom

[H33CRich]

I am looking to install a juffy reef on my Kenyon boom (single reef) and was wondering how others have done it. On my Tanzer I used blocks and extern lines through fareleads. The Kenyon looks like it might be able to support it with an extra internal line in the boom, but am unsure of what would be best. I can add a farelead starboard at the end then thread through a cheek block then up to the cringel on the leech end of the sail and down to a farelead on the port side of the boom.

What is the right way to do it?

Just did a write up on how my boat is rigged for reefing. It has been moved to the "sail trim" section http://forums.hunter.sailboatowners.com/showthread.php?t=152999

Before I changed mine the leech reefing line was strung from an eye at the reefing point on the boom through the leech cringle then back to a block at the end of the boom, through the boom to a clam cleat at the front of the boom. If your 33 has the same boom as mine this should work for you.

Do you have a photo or drawing? I am not seeing the line route based on the write-up or comments. Would be much obliged. I attached the jiffy rig plan for my old sailboat. The Kenyon boom is different and I am having a hard time picturing what is supposed to look like with a jiffy reef setup.

Here is a write up and pictures from the net. This system works well.
