reefing lines

[Linc]

I have a 30'S2 1979 sail boat. We have owned it for four years. We sail in Maine coastal waters. So we are not seasond sailors. My first mate woould get nervous when I would leave the cockpit to put in a reef. So I installed a two line reef system.I lashed blocks at various places.Ididn't want to hard fix anything in case it didn't work. It worked great. All I had was one reefing point. Now I have added a second reefing point.I would like to have reefing lines for the two poiints.I don't understand how to rig the lines. It seems it would be better use two single line systems to keep it simple. What I can't figure out is how the lines run at the gooseneck.
