Hi all,
I recently purchased a 31-2 with single line reefing. The problem is that the reefing lines are all absent. Does anyone know of instructions, or have hints, for how to run the reefing lines inside the boom?

Thanks in advance,
Greg Carleu

Here's a diagram from a scan of the P21-2 manual.  Note the moving block inside the boom.  Sometimes called a shuttle.  Like two small blocks attached to each other.

Thank you Dan,

I was also hoping for info on how to go about rerunning the lines. Right now I think that I have to drill out the rivets on the boom end cap  and remove it, then run the lines. I was hoping that there is a way to run them without removing the end cap.

Thanks again,
Greg

Hi Greg,

Attached is the jiffy reefing diagram from my P27 owner's manual. I don't know if the 31-2 is set up similarly, but hopefully this will get you started. I re-rigged the system with a new line using fish tape to feed the line through the boom.

Thanks!

Andrew

There is also the non-boom/balance block method that I have.. Shown in this forum post lower down the page https://forums.ybw.com/threads/single-line-reefing-setups.504095/
