Still trundling along on this project. I might have some new pictures tomorrow.

In this picture of the real Kathryn ( http://www.lastskipjacks.com/images/...i_20150906.jpg ), notice the reefing points (?) on the sail? The 4 rows of little ropes that hang down on the surface of the mainsail. Am I correct in thinking that these would only be on one side of the sail? In this case on the starboard side. Or would there be a matching rope on the other side, too?

Pictures of skipjacks under sail aren't as frequent as I would like and I can't find any pictures of the same boat from both sides.
