HI Mike: You or your sailmaker can fabricate one..........in my case, I bought a piece of 1" wide nylon web strap........for of like the sail ties material. Then I found at West Marine 2 stainless rings about 2" in diameter???/ (Bigger than your sail cringle)....I put one ring on the strap and fed both pieces of the strap through the cringle........on the other side, I put the second ring on and then overlapped the two ends about an inch and stitched then together with heavy waxed whipping line.........I Found a nifty hand stitcher at Harbor Freight for a couple of bucks and that made it easy.....
So the finished product looks like a floppy dogbone with one ring on each side......that ring simply gets hooked over the reefing hook on the boom end and you're all set to haul up the main halyard...... You'll figure out that after you reef the leech of the sail, you may need to readjust the halyard, but that's boat dependant and crew savvy........ Good luck, Ron -----Original Message----- From: CnC-List [mailto:cnc-list-boun...@cnc-list.com] On Behalf Of Michael Crombie via CnC-List Sent: Friday, April 08, 2016 9:47 PM To: cnc-list@cnc-list.com Cc: mcrom...@bell.blackberry.net Subject: Re: Stus-List Boom fittings for reefing attachments Hi Ron, You refer to a "strap loop" that goes through the tack cringle. I think this is exactly what i'm missing! Where do I get one of these? Or how do I make one? For the past two years i've just been trying to hook the cringle onto the reefing hook on the boom...this doesn't work very well and it can damage the sail.
