Freedom 35 reefing system

Post by mjwalek »

This is our first season with our Freedom 35 and as I was beginning to rig her was astonished to see that one of the previous owners cut the reef lines as they exited the boom near the gooseneck. I'd like to return the reefing system back to it's original design but the owner's manual doesn't specify length of cordage and diameter. Does anyone know or have suggestions?
