CS34 Single Line Reefing

Could not figure out what the two padeyes are on the mast just above the boom:


Did some searches on the ISOMAT site and they are called "autoreef fairleads".  Could not figure these out until I came accross this diagram:

This is great! 
There are blocks inside the mast and I will have single line double reefs!

Right is the line that goes down to a block at the vang, then up through the auto reefing fairlead, then up to the appropriate reefing cringle.
