*I'm sorry,  it goes "t goes under the boom from starboard to port, up to
the groomet, down to STARBOARD to the reefing block and forward to the winch
or cleat"

>> Our port side was for the topping lift before we installed the rigid

>> cam cleat inline, the second reef would be dedicated to the winch and a
>> cleat forward of the winch.   We use a reefing hook located at the
>> gooseneck.   Line size  Im not sure,  5/16 or 3/8

>> Steve,
