Doug, I added a 2 line reefing system to my main and have had to use it once or twice. Everything is controlled from the cockpit. There are several diagrams of the single and double line sail reefing systems out the on the Internet.

There is only one reef point in my main. I don't know how the previous owner attached the tack as there is no reef hook on the goose neck. There is a block, line and cleat on the boom for the clew end. So for those that sail the C27 when do you feel the need to reef the main? In what wind conditions, like 12, 15, 20 knots? Doug
