  1. That is an easy fix. At the forward end of the sail I see that the sail slides below the reef have come out of the sail track. I cannot see a sail stop / gate in the picture. You need one on each mast to keep the slides contained on the track so that the sails are neat and tidy. At the aft end; before you roll up the foot of the sail, grab the clew and pull it forward so that the leech is paralell to the reef. The fold should be at about 45 degrees from vertical. You can now roll the up the foot of the sail and and tie off the reef points. It should look neat and tidy and be able take normal sailing stresses in strong winds. If you do not have sail stops, there is a drawing with dimensions. on the mast plans. You can make them out of a plastic cutting board. I know of a few kitchens that have a small corner missing and no one knows the difference, after the edges have been smoothed over and corners rounded to match the board. Or you can buy them from B&B. We should have a picture of the reefing procedure somewhere. If this is not clear I will try to get one.
