Yeah Len, I have the 3 sheaves at the aft end of the boom. In fact I just had them all remade by zepherworks. The middle one is for the outhaul. First reef is on the stbd and second reef is on the port. If you only tie it in the reef hole and not the boom (through the reef hole) then the clew is free to come up off the boom. I was thinking maybe someone had come up with something better than tying. I was thinking about maybe splicing an eye in the line and then luggage tagging it to the boom... Or soft shackling it to the load line after passing around the boom. Just something to clean it up a little.
