Where are reef points located on a sail?

Reef points are reinforced patches sewn into the sail fabric, along the luff (the edge of the sail that runs next to the mast). They provide secure attachment spots for the reefing line when you reef the sail to reduce its area. Since they’re built into the sail itself, they aren’t located on the mast, hull, or boom edge. Multiple reef points let you reef to different depths depending on wind conditions.
