hi,
I bought a 1983/4 Catalina 36 Mk1 Tallrig in May this year. It has a worn-out mainsail and I need to replace it. There is a reefing track on the aft end of the boom, port side with 2 moveable blocks. there are small  cleats on the mast end of the boom. The sail has 2 reef points with reefing cords through all the cringles. A fellow boater at my marina says I will need  some kind of winch assisted reefing system to provide the mechanical advantage necessary to properly tension the sail but there are no mast or boom winches.
I  only have  2 swivel blocks at the foot of the mast and the 2 original double deck organizers as per the Catalina specs. There is a double cIutch on the port cabin roof and a single clutch on the starboard cabin roof with a jam cleat. There is a winch on both port/starboard sides of cabin roof.
 I  would like to be able to reef from the cockpit and realize I will need more swivel blocks, fairleads, multiple sheaved deck organizers and clutches.The Catalina 36 manual does not appear to indicate clearly how to set up the reefing and I was wondering if any members know how this should be done?
many thanks
