My first (and only) set of reef points is just under the first batten. If I recall correctly that was 39" on the luff and 43" on the leech of the main. I sent it to my sailmaker and he charged about $90 for the two crinkles and 3 intermediate grommets.
I have not had opportunity to use it yet, so cannot comment further. I would assume the next set up, would be the same percentage reduction in sail area, and closest to the next batten?
I set mine up with a single line jiffy reef, but if I was doing it again, I would set it up as a two line jiffy reef, to reduce the amount of loose line when reefed.
