[C320-list] Reefing Setup

I have a 2000 C-320 wing-keel (Hull #722) and noticed my reefing system is setup differently than what is shown in the manual. 

My system only has 1 reefing line running out of the boom near the gooseneck which I ran down to a block on the boom kicker mount and then up through the port side reef cringle on the main sail. From there it is run through a starboard fairlead near the gooseneck, then down to the turning block on the mast base and back to the clutches in the cockpit. 

The manual has 2 lines exiting the boom at the gooseneck: one that attaches to the reef cringle via a reef hook and the other goes to the turning block at the mast base and then to the clutch in the cockpit. 

Did the design change? Does anyone else have their reefing setup this way?
