Does anyone besides me reef the main? I always solo and around 18 kts the fear factor starts to overcome the grin factor.

I have a 2nd stop on the main halyard for engaging the hook on the mast. A row of grommets on the sail is adequate for lacing up the inactive portion of the main. Reinforced tack grommet goes right into the boom fitting. Reinforced clew grommet is pulled out by the outhaul and tied down with a few loops of cord.
