Thanks Rik, I just got my M15 and the jib has a reef point in it. There are two sets of fairleads and two blocks forward which lead back to two clam cleats on the port cockpit coaming. These appear to be for both a jib downhaul and the jib reef tack. The downhaul makes good sense to me, I've installed them on other boats but as I said, I just don't get the idea of the reefing line.
Perhaps that second fairlead is for something else but if it is I'm missing the point.
