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!
