Is that for the first set or second set of reef points?
Seems a little short.

Ok, one more. Reefing line led aft to the cockpit or just to the mast?

So far we have more questions than answers... but the things we are asking about make a difference.

Sounds like a good excuse to go to your boat and measure.

I have an 88 TR. My original two-line reefing system had an 11 foot line to reef the clew end and a 9 foot line to reef the luff end. Line diameter was 1/4 inch. This info came from the owners manual.

How are you rigging it? One for both tack and clew or one for each. For a single line if you figure 2 feet up from the boom, 2 back down, 9 feet across, 2 up and 2 back down you are already at 17 without a tail.

one for each. i have an 83 SR. i was mainly interested in the clew end. i was thinking about trying a reef hook for the tack. i actually found the diagram for how the line should run on one of the threads from a previous post. 11 ft sounds about right. thanks aeckhart.
