[Rhodes22-list] Ballast report : picts of 2nd reef position in 8-12 mph winds (with gusts in the mid teens)

[Mary Lou Troy]

That's generally true. A good rule of thumb is that the jib sheet 
should bisect the angle of the clew of the sail, Many genoas have 
a  bit of webbing sewn into them so that you can line it up. If you 
look at John's photos you can see the white stripe on the clew of the 
sail. Generally the sheet should make a continuous line with the line 
on the sail.

There's a fair description here:
