I agree that 24" is about a first reef except I do not reduce sail area.
That is why I think   my sail is smaller to start with. Need to measure it
against a normal Monty Main sail plan. Where can I find info?

I assume 24 inches of host means 24 inches of hoist left in the main.  That
should like a nice first reef to me.  t
