As editors we should note we are sharing this post as information only, we're not necessarily endorsing this specific reefing setup. Especially with reefing systems it's important to test things in various conditions before coming to conclusions.
I was about to purchase a bunch of expensive blocks to overcome the friction involved in single line reefing, but your two line system is wonderfully simple and will save me a lot of materials and awkward complexity in the operation.
Looks like rigging the new boom can be done and dusted tomorrow. 😀
Why did you choose to not install a first reefing pair of lines, it is after all the most used reef of them all? The two horn cleats seem rather close together, was there a reason for this? I have a horn cleat for each reefing line and it seems to work quite well.

Good timing, Brent.

Very well thought out!
