Ok.... I have a 1986 Legend 37 and the sail has at least 2 reefing points. Everything I seem to find would suggest that there are 2 reefing lines in the boom... except that I only have one. Along with that I have the outhaul for the sail as well. And just now thinking about it, raises another question... the rope for the outhaul goes to a pulley on a car inside the boom and around that pulley... the wire cable is attached to the back side of the car and out the sheave at the aft end of the boom. But the new question is, where does the end of the rope go. I don't see it.
The original question that brought me here was I only have one reef line "system" with the forward line from the forward reef point through the fairlead, down through the sheave and into the boom. It then goes to a pulley car and back to the sheaves at the front of the boom, out, down the mast, and back to the cockpit. The second pulley on that car has the line that runs from a stop knot at the aft of the boom, to the car, and back to the aft and out a sheave there, to the aft reef point. That all makes sense, but it uses 2 (count 'em, 2) sheaves out of 4 at the front of the boom, leaving me only 1 for a second reef "system". I can't seem to figure out how that's going to work.
I'm looking for any input or suggestions. The forward end of the boom looks like the pics attached (Blue coded line is outhaul, red is reefing system):
