Does it interfere with putting in a reef?

Not really. I have to go to the mast to reef and always later than I should,
if you what I mean. I can reach in by the mast to hook the cringle and then
haul the out haul and let the cover hold the middle, I don't always tie the
reef lines.
One of the speakers at the show suggested attaching the top lines out on the
spreader a bit to make more of an open V to catch the sail. I'll have to
look at that and see.
