I've recently finished building a small 12-foot skiff, with a balanced lug sail (OZ Racer sail from RSS Sails/ Duckworks). A few days ago, I took it out for its first sail, and put the first reef in.

I'm using a Storer-style halyard arrangement (halfway down the page), and it works great without reefs. I've fixed a lot of problems with my rig since then (and there were a bunch), but I haven't found a good solution to the yard pivoting too far aft. My current solution is to tie the yard block attachment to the mast, but that binds and is not easy to do under way. I also tried moving the halyard block further aft, but it's pretty cumbersome to do under way, especially with the head lacing.
Has anyone here encountered a similar problem, and have you found a solution? I have a feeling I'm missing something rather obvious.
Thanks!
