Our setup uses the clew reefing pennant as the outhaul/downhaul and we don't bother over much with tying off the reefed portion of the sail unless it's making too much noise flapping. If it is too noisy, nylon sailstops (we use the double thickness kind, that stay flat better and are easier to untie than the single thickness webbing that is often available) are easy to slip through one or more of the grommets in the sail and around the boom. K.I.S.S. The knotted bungee cords are cute, but in conditions that warrant reefing, are you going to trust them?
