I'm in the same boat :P . Working on a new quote from California for a Beta-30 plus shipping to Alaska. Pain in the butt getting Yanmar parts up here. It will be a summer project if it happens.

Green - 1st reef
Red - location of reef point when reefed.

Just checking to see if that was what the picture was depicted.
