The only thing I would suggest is to use some pad-eye under the boom or some other way to make sure that the line around the boom cannot slide forward. It has to work as an outhaul, as well.

His recommendation was to have the reefing line tied around the boom. Michael Brown Windburn C&C 30-1 Josh The 2007 C&C115 that we race and the 2008 C&C99 that I sail on both are just tied around the boom. I think that more or less says this is still how it is done. Our own ancient Frers 33 also tied around a painted boom. No wear on paint on the two C&Cs and the wear I see on the Frers boom is not from the reef line. Mike Persistence 1987 Frers 33 Halifax, NS
