When I had my mainsail made I had the sail maker include the dogbones (strops) in both reef cringles and I had him add a web nylon handle above the cringles so that you can pull the sail and control its movement while setting the dogbone. I have considered making my dogbones longer by removing the

Agree. Boom to cringle back to boom for the 2:1. Here's Touche's reef block and track. The boom has eye straps on the other side corresponding to the sail's reef points. They are located so the reef line pulls down and aft. The block gets moved accordingly. https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B

I don't like tieing the reef line at the reef point. It pulls the sail to that side and places a lot of stress on the grommet. I'd use either a reef hoof or a dog-bone so you are pulling down, not sideways. Also, if you attach the line to the boom you are getting a 2:1 purchase. Joel 35/3 Annap
