Hi Kent,

If I understood you correctly, you said that you have hardware for jiffy
reefing on the shallow set of reef points. You can try rigging the deeper
set of reef points using the hardware for the not-so-deep set. It will
probably work okay.

With only one set of hardware, you can't rig both the shallow and the deep
set at the same time. If it's a typical windy day on SF Bay, you'll want the
deeper set of reef points rigged. But I'd recommend you get the second set
rigged.

Best,
Judy B.
