That is the reefing line for the reef clew cringle. It's run forward so you can work at the mast and bring the clew down at the same time. Tie it off to the cringle in the first reef point. -----Original Message----- From: Keith Diehl <kdiehl@xmission.com> To: Montgomery Boats List <montgomery_boats@mailman.xmission.com> Sent: Sat, May 26, 2012 12:25 pm Subject: M_Boats: Fw: Help Please!!

If so, how can I mod for my new main which I had made with ouble reefing points. If not for reefing, what might it be? http://www.flickr.com/photos/frjeff/7274181654/ Many thanks *Jeff+* olōn labe!
