Gooseneck reefing setup ideas

[tjbrace]

Sounds like quite a faff to rig, when you need to reef shorthanded in the dark on choppy water.

It's easier to do if you use Dyneema without cover as I did in my picture, found another video that might be easier to follow, there they show a trick with a lanyard to

And here is a video showing a locked brummel eye splice

If the total length is to short to do the tail buries end to end you can overlap the tapers.
It's easy to do this splice in "naked" Dyneema using Selma fids or simmilar, you don't need that special fid they use in the video. (A rigger i know make same kind of tool from the core of old rigging wire)
