RE- Freedom 32 mainsail reefing
Hi Milo , I have the blocks but what is this schock cord you
are speaking of.
Is a
bungee cord somehow wrapped around the block to keep it in Place ?
Thanks

Typing this without looking at it . . .
Starting aft:
Tie a bowline around the boom, go up through the chosen reefing
grommet at the leech of the main, back down through one of the outboard blocks
at the end of the boom, through the boom, out through the corresponding side
block at the front of the boom, up to the block thatʼs attached to the
stainless steel hook (the hook goes under the short piece of shock cord and
into the corresponding grommet at the luff of the main), the line then comes
down from the block at the hook to a deck block, and then aft to the cockpit.

Freedom 32 mainsail reefing
I hope
you folks can help me understand this process.
I have recently purchase this freedom 32 and I was not aboard when
the main sail was removed for the winter.
I bent on the main sail today and all went well .
I noticed 2 lines that were tied off at the outhaul end of the boom
that run through the boom to the goosneck.
1 line on the port side is shorter than the right one.
2 Blocks are also in a zip lock that seem to hook into one or the
other reefing eys at the mast .
I cannot figure out how the reefing system should work.
Do you take the shorter line and attach to the lowest reef clew with
a bowline ?
Do you take the longer line and attach to the next highest reef clew
with a bowline ?
If you then pass the other ends of the lines thru respective blocks
where do you go from there ?
These are 2 seperate lines . How do you then run them aft to the
cockpit to control the reefing ?
Does anyone have a line drawing showing this system . It appears to
have been original factory install
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks folks
Captain Michael
