M_Boats: Lets Talk Reefing

I am used to a sailboat with a fixed boom so when I drop the mail sail by loosening up the halyard all I did next was use a hook to lock down the main sail at the tack for the reefed position. With the Monty 15 things will happen differently. Do you guys mark the mast where you want the boom to stay so when you drop the main you hook the clew at this new position then raise the main again to tension the luff? Seems like this takes time, when we reefed on the Precision we could do this very fast. Ideas you guys have are appreciated. M 15 #616 Another Wrinkle Smiley magoo252@comcast.net
