Vision 32 Jiffy Reef

[Dave Sullivan]

I have a 1989 Vision 32. It is set up from Hunter to have two Jiffy Reef points fairleaded back to the cockpit. When I bought the boat the rigging was not installed. I have been trying to get info from Hunter but have not had any luck. I would appreciate any information you can provide so I can re-rig these two lines

thanks

If it is like my 30T you should have two blocks at the end of the boom and two at the mast. You should have two blocks at the base of the mast and a clutch on the cabin top by the cockpit. You run your lines through these blocks. When the line exit the back of the boom you take the line up thorugh the reef point in the sail leach, then down on the other side of the sail to an attachment point under the boom. Put a bowline there and you are set. One line goes to the lower reef on the sail and the longer line goes to the second reef point on the sail.

When reefing I attach the luff ring in the rams horn to complete the reefing attachment points.

To Add To Sailgunner's Description...

...and forgive me, it's been ten years. From the clutch, the line goes through the organizer to the (double) mast base block, up through the eye on the mast, through a block on the mainsail reef point, down through the eye again to the top sheave of the same block, up to the sheave on the front of the boom, through the boom to the (same) sheave on the back of the boom and then up through the same reef point cringle as the luff and down to the boom bail closest to the cringle.

I sure hope this makes sense since I may be confusing it with my 40.5 which is very similar. What I don't know is if there is a double block system inside the boom. I don't think so but it's been too long to recall accurately. Maybe someone has better info. Good luck!
