I have a loose footed main. I was told NEVER to attach the sail ties to the boom when reefing.. If you bother with them at all just go around the bottom of the sail and back / cinch it to keep from flopping around..
Personally I usually don't bother and just use either the hook on the gooseneck for the tack side or the Cunningham line to give it a remote adjustment for quick release when racing and the outhaul / reefing line at the clew.. Clew straps: Where have you seen those for larger boats? I looked into that a while back and all I found were for Lasers and Optis.. -Francois Rivard 1990 34+ "Take Five" Lake Lanier, GA
