Reefing instructions

Does anyone have step by step instructions on how to reef a SF sail? I did a search on this site but did not come up with much info. A picture of a reefed sail would be great.

I understand that you lower the sail and attach the cunningham grommet to the apex of the spars. My question is what about the area of sail that was attached at the tack which is now loose? Since you have lowered sail and attached the cunningham grommet it seems that there is alot of extra sail just flapping around.
 
When you reef, you have the outhaul pulled tight. As a result, the extra sail does not flop around at all. Give it a try and you will see.
