+"Jacklines are lines that pass through the slide, allowing some distance between the slide and the shackle attached to the luff of the sail.  When the sail is raised completely, the jackline is taught.  When the sail is down for reefing, the jackline is loose."  Jacklines for the first 3 or 4 slugs may be an option, though the sail stack will still likely sit too high on the boom.
