Hey, all.Just got my Macgregor 26 (D- I believe but it might be an S-; 1989 model) into the water for the first time last weekend. Boy, the first time trailering and un-trailering was interesting, but that's another post!I have two questions based on that experience. The first has to do with rigging the outhaul on my boom. I've attached a picture of what I encountered after rigging the mainsail. The 1/4" line for the outhaul doesn't reach the clew (short by about an inch). Of course, I could rig a longer line for the outhaul, but it doesn't make sense that it would be rigged too short. Advice?The second question has to do with reefing. I ended up using what I'm pretty sure is the reefing line to secure the clew around the boom but it was loose and I'm confident that's not the way to do it! Can someone give me some advice about properly rigging the mainsail? With the winds in west Texas/New Mexico, I will need to know reefing, so info/advice about that would be appreciated too.Thanks in advance from a newbie!
