Deck layout F36CK

Could someone please supply me with a labeled diagram for the deck layout for a Freedom 36 cat ketch detailing the running rigging.

My thinking is that by the time I need to put the second reef in the main, I will have put the mizzen away anyway. Please let me know...

Re: battcars on new sails?

Yet another positive vote for the Tides Marine "Strongtrack" system. Just finished my first season with it and absolutely LOVE it.......one of the best buys on my boat. Freedom 28 catketch (centerboard & standard booms). Cheers
