Two-line slab reefing is the way to go if you want to lead the lines back to the cockpit. Otherwise, put a reefing line up for the clew reefing cringle on each reef point and then use a tack hook for the reefing tack cringle.

Add a set of lazyjacks, and you're good to go.

Pineapple Sails has a good page on two-line reefing systems, located here.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
