I picked up my main from the SailLoft today, had a 2nd set of Reef points installed. Since I have the TR, when I reefed the main before it only brought the sail down to the same height as the standard rig. Not much help when the winds picked up over 20. I also got a set of Mast Gates from Joe Martinek and if the weather holds out this weekend I hope to get the main back on and the Gates installed. I can't wait to get out and try it all out.

What did it cost to get a second reef put in? Did they also put in the jack lines?

It came to $165 after taxes. Included a cleat for the leach line and sail tie grommets. No jack lines, I wanted to take a look at everything once I get the Mast Gates installed to see if i need them. If so they would be a simple install.

Tom you will find you will need the jack lines even with the mast gate.

Keith, I have Jacklines at the first Reef point, you think I will need them at the second Reef point as well?

I installed the mast gates a couple of years ago. I took off the jack line and stitched a sail slug on. I've had no problem with first or second reef since. The thing to keep in mind is which way you want the sail to flake when it's reefed.
