2 line reefing

[Set2sea]

I want to set up my 2 line reefing. I have the picture from the manual and I am still scratching my head with the set up. I looked thru threads here and don't see a basic explantation (I'm sure it's there like everything else, I just don't have the time to keep looking).
As I see it, I need tie bowline to boom block becket, up to reef cringle, then what? Does it simply loop thru cringle and back down to block? Why does the manual show a dotted line like it is going on the port side of the sail. Do I put a cheek block on the cringle?

Yes line runs on the other side....  have you seen this?

Yes, I did see that before I posted but doesn't answer my question

I don't have the manual handy, but from memory you have the right idea. Bow line on the block, around the bottom of the boom, up through the cringle, back down and through the block, then forward along the boom to a cleat. The two reefing lines run parallel but through different cringles, blocks and to different cleats. The dotted line probably represents the line running behind the sail, so out of sight from your view point.
Mine are there, ready and run to and through the center of the cleats with a knot to keep them there.
It is a simple but functional set up but it does require that you go forward to snug the clew after you have lowered the main.

Thanks Jeff! I knew it was simple. I have it now, thank you.
