Ahoy, I have a '84 C-22 and I am not sure how to rig for single line reefing. My boat has cleast and cheek blocks on the boom. does any one have a diagram? I am a visual learner. Thanks Art <)))><

Art, you can look in the West Marine catalog in the sailboat hardware section for a small diagram or go to their store or a chandlery near you and study the diagrams on the back of the Harken single line reefing package. Between what you see and think about you should be able to figure it out and maybe save a few bucks too.

Go to this link to the C25 manual, scroll down the page to 'main sail reefing', then click the '4.1.9 picture' link. Might give you some ideas. John

Another image

This image might be clearer. We rigged ours a little different though. Our boom came with quite an array of hardware installed by previous owners and I wasn't exactly sure what it all was intended for. We ended up rigging a single reef line that ran from a cleat on the forward starboard side of boom, up through the forward reef cringle, down to the boom port side, turned aft and ran along the boom, turned up through a block, through the aft reef cringle, down through a starboard aft block, then back to a cleat on the boom foreward. We added a boom topping lift and this system seems to work OK though we've only used it once. Need more practice. Without the topping lift it might be better to rig it like the image shows. That way you could reef down the aft cringle (hiking up the boom end) then lower the main halyard and deal with the forward cringle and tack etc. John
