RS Vision Reefing

Recently it became apparent that the single line reefing systems used on the RS Visions were a little less than perfectly set up.

We've since discovered how they should be rigged so that it's a simple matter of following the instructions below to reef the sails.

So simple it can be done easily by one person.

Method: 1, Ease the sheet and GNAV 2, Pull the reef line, the boom will angle up until all of the aft reef line (clew line) slack is taken in or the GNAV travel limit is reached.
3, Ease the halyard, and continue pulling the reef line. The boom outer end will move down towards horizontal. 4, When the reef line has pulled the clew and tack down hard, jam it off. 5, Re-tension the halyard and adjust the GNAV and sheet.
