Tie mainsail outhaul line to the
outer saddle on the boom and thread
it through the outer end of the sail,

the line. (Fig. 13)

Similarly thread the reefing line
from the inner saddle on the boom
through the eye of the leech of the
sail and through the forward cheek
block then to the clam cleat at the
forward end of the boom. We
recommend that the reefing line
should be in position all the time to
allow instant reefing when required.
