As a new balanced rig sailor, this video was very useful, thank you.

Nice explanation. "Very few components that need to be purchased". Or that can break. Or jam up. Consider using something like a Prussik knot where the two reefing lines meet. Feed the luff line through a Prussik tied around it in the leech line. Now just grab the knot in one hand and slide the other line through it with the other.

Thanks Ross. I have a balanced lug on a CLC Skerry. I'm wondering, as I release the halyard (to reef), to pull the top yard of the mainsail lower, what's keep the boom from going downwards as well? Does one just hold the boom, where it is, with a free hand?

nice sail. Have you ever considered a junk sail?

Good vid Ross! If my sail has 3 reefing lines instead of 1, would I triple the number of fairleads on the aft end of the boom?

Each leech reefing point would come down in a different spot on the boom.

( 2:23 ) 🔴 But if you do not - and you will never be able to - then fear the Fire, whose fuel is men and stones, prepared for the disbelievers.( 2:24 ) 🔵 And give good tidings to those who believe and do righteous deeds that they will have gardens [in Paradise] beneath which rivers flow. Whenever they are provided with a provision of fruit therefrom, they will say, "This is what we were provided with before." And it is given to them in likeness. And they will have therein purified spouses, and they will abide therein eternally. ( 2:25 ) ⚠️ Quran

In my GIS I have a carabiner attaching to the sail and slip forward the square lashing. Clip it on the reef line and adjust the foot position/tension .
