Hello O’40 owners-
Can anybody out there give me the lowdown on how your boom is set up for reefing? I looking through the end of my boom today and could see two short pieces of rope that look like they have been tied off to something and perhaps an internal pulley but the ropes are too short to extend through the front of the boom.
I can see there are two rope clutches marked ‘reefing’ on the port side of the boat. My boom does not seem to have a cringe hook at the front of the boom. Any advice helpful.
Thanks,
Lou
