With two folks working on it, we do both at roughly the same time. I don't think there is a 'correct' way. If one tightens up the leech line first, then the main sheet has to be slacked to get the halyard tight. As our races are short ones around here, we generally only set a reef at the dock

My glass shop didn't want to mess with the spline and gasket, so he glued the plexi in with the same polyurethane that they use on car windshields. Looks pretty good, very similar to the original grey and he only charged me $20 per window, plexi included. I'm going to do the forward two window

I suppose you could take some 80 grit sandpaper to the aluminum frame and the Plexiglas and get Sikaflex to stick, but I'm not sure that would be a great idea. For starters, Sikaflex is expensive. The Sikaflex tube of Sikaflex and bottle of primer I bought to reseal my foredeck hatch cost

You have it right in both cases. 30-1 and light air area. Number one to 20 apparent. And, if I reefed more often, I would lead all lines back and not have the person at the mast hooking up the luff ring and then standing on the cabin top to use the boom winch to haul in the leech reef. Gary

It’s probably a swaged eye and a ¼” clevis pin (that’s what my 25 had), but it could also be a fork and a clevis pin. Take my advice. Call Guido at Garhauer and get an RV18-1 rigid vang made for your boat ($435 in the 2012 catalog), and throw away your topping lift. You won’t need to go
