Request Reefing Line Setup Pictures

I would (eventually) like to set up a reefing system with lines that run back to the cockpit. I don't mind going up to the mast to hook the luff cringle, but would like a second crew person to be able to run the halyard, topping lift, and reef outhaul / leech cringle lines from the cockpit.

I'd like to set up something like Ted's (described here: http://www.ericsonyachts.org/infoexchange/showthread.php?t=4769) but could really use some pictures of the setup at the gooseneck and foot of the mast. On my E27, I would probably run everything outside the boom, unless I defer this project to the winter and a boom overhaul.

I think I'd like route the reefing lines, halyard, and topping lift through clutches, keeping the reefing lines on one side and the halyard / topping lift on the other.

single reef line system

I set up a single reef line system on my E-27 following the examples in this Harken kit instruction manual I down loaded. It was pretty easy to set up with a few blocks, one cheek block on the mast and a fair leed on the deck that leads to a jam cleat just starboard of the companion way on the cabin top.

Here's the link to the Harken PDF you can down load and print.
