Re: Pros and cons of leading halyard and reef lines to cockpit?

1. Because some don't have tack reef lines?
2. Because some use the topping lift to raise the boom when reefing?

Granny rails have a lot more uses than just a tether point. You use them as a solid handhold, brace against them when working around the mast, climb on them to reach higher up the mast, hang things...

AKA "granny rails" (but as I just found out - be careful googling that phrase :nonono:)

Had them on a couple of boats I've delivered and they are very handy.
