Adjustable Jiffy Reef Blocks
With Bail, Spring Pin, Aluminum Cheek and Polyethylene Slide Liners
Jiffy Reefing allows an entire "slab" to be quickly removed from the mainsail to reduce sail area and power in "heavy air" conditions. With the mainsheet and main halyard eased, Jiffy Reefing lines pull the aft reef grommet tight to the boom. A separate reef line attached to the forward reef grommet is then tightened, pulling the sail tight and flat at the gooseneck. The halyard is then tightened and the mainsheet is trimmed with a new reduced sail area.
Adjustable Jiffy reefing sliders with welded bails ride on boom-mounted track to provide proper dead-end attachment point location fore and aft. The reefing line dead ends on the stainless steel bail, leads under the boom and up through the reefing grommet on the sail.
Schaefer's polyethylene slide liners are held captive within the stainless slide to help reduce breakage common with other protruding liners.
