[quote=DamonLinkous][quote=optikid]But what is the second  row of reef points for? Its on the pics on their website to[/quote]

I doubt the reef points are standard on the Intensity H16 sail.

That particular Hobie 16 sail in the video is the same boat in this picture.

and has had the two reef points added to meet the WaterTribe Reefing Rule which states.

[quote]Reefing Rule for ALL Class 3, 4, 5, and 6 Boats: All sailing classes must have a safe and efficient reefing, furling, or recovery system for all sails. You must know how to use your reefing system and it must be fully rigged and ready to go before you launch. If there is a small craft advisory at the time of launch and you don't have all reefs in your sail, you will be immediately DQed.

Reefing is highly recommended but not required for standing sails less than or equal to 12 sqft.

At least one reef point is required for standing sails less than or equal to 36 sqft. Having two reef points is highly recommended for these sails.
