[C320-list] Second Reef - Selden Rig

[Jeff Hare]

Hi Jerry,

There's a picture on the site of a technique that might help smooth out the
handling depending on your final rigging arrangement.

We've used it for years and makes it super easy to deal with adding and
shaking out the reef.  With a second reefing line, you're going to have
quite a bit of extra line to deal with and being able to easily pull it in
when the sail is down, or let it all out when the sail is unreefed becomes a
hassle unless you eliminate the friction.

Also, are you looking at single or double line reefing for this second reef?

Good luck, let us know what you figure out.

-Jeff

Hi

Does anyone have a second reef with a Selden Rig?  I am having trouble 
getting enough travel on the line from the sliding reef block in the boom to

the second reef to fully raise the main.

I am working with the dealer but would appreciate anyone else's experience

Thanks
