I wonder what the factory setup for mainsail reefing was like. My boat has slab reefing lines and lazy jacks, but no reefing hook.On the gooseneck there is a 3/8" hole for the pin that goes into the tack cringle, and an empty hole of the same size about an inch below.
There is also a cleat on the starboard aft part of the mast, just below the original gooseneck position (PO has moved gooseneck down). The cleat is not inline with any winch.
My best guess is that there was one or two reefing hooks bolted to this gooseneck fitting, and the cleat may be from a cunningham (which I don't have rigged, either).
Can someone ever so kindly tell me (or even better, show me a picture of), what was the reefing hook supposed to look like originally, and what is this mysterious cleat for?
