First, I don't believe you can reef an H16 on the water, because the halyard hook is forward
on the mast. I never could figure it, anyway, and often wondered how I could rig an after
mounted halyard hook so I could reef on the water, from the trampoline.

So, anyway:

Haul the mainsail up to the reefing height halyard slug. (or drop it to that point, if the sail's
already up.)

Hook the downhaul into the uppermost tack grommet (the reefing point tack grommet.)

Flake/tidy the sail along the boom. Have bits of line through the reefing point grommets
along what is now the foot of the sail, and tie the sail to the boom, snugly.

Move the outhaul to the reefing clew point, and haul hard on the outhaul, to flatten the foot.

Downhaul hard to flatten/depower, and go sailing.
