[C320-list] 2nd mainsail reef line

[bruceheyman at cox.net]

John,
After a particularly rousing sail from Marina Del Rey to Santa Barbara we walked straight into West Marine after tieing the boat up and purchased the second reefing line.  I believe we used 90' of 3/8's inch line, we got the line dimension from the C320 manual.  Thankfully there was a messenger line in the boom that allowed us to reve the line through.  As we were on the road as it were at the time we had to use a block on a snap shackle as a turning block at the base of the mast.  I think there is also a drawing of how to reve this line in the manual.
We were fortunate that the previous owner had installed two extra line breaks on the cabin top.

Has anyone set up the mainsail 2nd reef line. I think I remember someone talking about this a few years ago.
I couldn't find anything at the 320 website. What would be great is a drawing showing how you ran the 2nd reef line. Single line or double??
