I agree, I grew up on a boat with no such thing. Then I sailed a friends
boat and I realised how good it was.
He had Lazys which at the top went through pullie so he could losten it and
tie it down up front. It will remove the turbulence and will work wonders
when reefing and in emergencies when you need to let the sail down fast.

Lazy jacks .... maybe
Eazy-Jacks .... Yup, 'cause you can fold them up along the boom and
mast and not have the turbulance generated by permanently installed
lazy jacks.
Both will aid in reefing and with no need to 'tie-in' the reef - just
the luff and leech cringles.
