As like most of you do I'm sure, I run my reefing lines from the boom through a cringle on the leach of the main and then back to a block/sheave on the boom (in my case built into the aft end), and then forward to the mast. But why don't we just tie the reefing line to the cringle with a buntline knot and run it to the block/sheave in the mast? We'd have much less weight aloft. I'm sure there is a reason, but what?
Thoughts? Thanks.
