Reefs
The boom of the Grand Soleil 40 is fitted to house two reefing lines to take in 2 reefs, and it is
arranged for an outhaul for the mainsail base adjustment.
Instruction
•
From the pulley located at the end of the boom, the end of the reefing line runs
into the cringle of the clew of the reef you want to take.
-
From the cringle of the clew it then runs aside the boom and is fastened to the
corresponding eye-bolt under the boom.
•
After this operation, the reefing life is sent back to the cockpit on one of the coachroof sides
(to determine which side, see the deck fittings equipment at page 24), and then to the winch
on the coachroof.
•
The reef tack point has to be hooked to one of the appropriate hooks located on the boom
junction.
