Bones: Good to hear from you! Actually, I have a modified hook I bought from Larry Yake and bent to sort of work. It is mounted on the forward end of the boom; but I still haven't got the shape right. What I've been doing is using a short line thru the luff reef grommet, one end looped around the hook, the other pulled down to a horn cleat near the mast base. It is still a work in progress. By the way, we had another nice time in the San Juans. Come join us again! --Gary Hyde 2005 M17 sailboat #637 'Hydeaway 2' We can't change the wind, but we can trim our sails.

HI Gary,

Hope all is well with you.... As far as reefing goes, for fastening the tack of the mainsail, are you using a ram's horn on the mast, or a hook arrangement that goes to a cleat?

Thanks,

Bones
