Reef hook on mainsail

Post by Pbrenner »

Hello to all of you

I was wondering whether you had installed reef hook at the junction of the mast and boom ?

As clearly the setting seems to scream for a hook but not fitted on our c350 for some reason.

Would you have hooks yourselves for the first and second reef? Would you have photos by any chance?

Reef hooks aren't necessary if the single line reef system is set up right. Don't have any pics of mine and am not near the boat, but the front reefs are set up with blocks to pull the front of the sail toward the mast as well as down to the boom. Mine does have reef hooks set up on it too, but I don't use them
