Ahoy! Sandra, Was the reefing rigging diagram of any help?

The M15 comes with a Jiffy Reefing system as a standard. But, since I received mine with no instructions, and the rigging not installed, I haven't a clue as to how this is supposed to be rigged. Also, from some of the recent postings, I am beginning to get a dim glimmer as to how it works. So the question which follows is does it remain in place when the main is dropped? How. can the main be removed from the boom if it is still rigged. Some pictures of it in place would sure be a big help. Since I learned to reef the old fashioned way, I have put reef ties into the main so I can get the job done, and did sail with the main reefed while in FL. But, I did the reef while still at the dock because I could see it was neeeded. As a single hander, it would not have been too easy to do if I had to do it while underway. Any help would be appreciated. Time for a cool change!
