I installed one line reefing systems for the main and mizzen. Guess
they just tied thru the reefing points before. Just rigged up a single
line with side mounted blocks, one for both points on the mizzen.. and
3 on the main. Makes reefing down quick and easy.

Did you use any block? I find sigle line reefing adds too much
friction. I've ripped a few bails and things out because of friction.
I've though a few properly placed low friction blocks would be a
big help.

Yes on both sides of each each reefing point, the only place friction
could happen is thru the grommets, if you reef early.. not under a load
you have next to zero friction.
