Until you get the time to run #2 reef line, lower sail. Time the reef line through the #2 sail reef point and then proceed. You really are only using one of the reef points at any one time. The goose neck some times has only one hook point.
Once connected you raise the sail to set the reef.
The original B331 had specs for Whichard blocks to be mounted in rigs for both tack and clew reefs for the first and second reefs.
Our friend from Halifax may have a different main today, someone may have removed the blocks, but I believe there are provisions in the boom for reeling using lines. The USA models speced Neil Pryde sails. (There were in the boom roller furling ones, but the weren't applicable here)
I don't think they had any clew hooks.
