First question that needs to be answered- does your mast have a comptip or is it all-aluminum, and does your sail have reef points?
Hobie did away with the reefing feature on the 16 in the mid-1980’s when they introduced the comptip mast. This is likely why that information has been deleted from the manual. If your mast has a comptip, then you can’t reef.
If you have an all aluminum mast and your sail has reef points, then you can reef and the procedure is pretty straight forward and can probably be explained on the forum.
sm
The mast is all aluminum.
The sail appears to have reef points/grommets (5 holes: 3 in a line and 2 offset at the edges).
The thread i was reading suggested reefing at the edge grommets
