Mine has two equal depth reefs, When both are in, the head is down to the hounds. I think that puts the first reef just above the bottom batten but would have to look at the sail to be certain. With both reefs in, its advantagous to change to a smaller jib. A mirror jib set on a 6" strop from the stemhead works well for me.
