>the halyard extension wont work. there has to be a attachment point directly at the head of the reefed sail. or it will blow out of the luff track<

Could you tie a loop around the mast, then through the grommet at the head to prevent it from comming out of the luff track?
It would have to be a good knot!
Or perhaps use sister hooks to complete the loop. [color:"orange"] [/color]
