I'm using method A, as I'm a simple soul - I did try F but it struck me as a waste of string. I bought a minireel of  3mm Vectran which did the job, and I lashed each end of the luff/foot to holes drilled through the boom/gaff - no adjustment necessary once you get it right.
Having seen Swefn, I may need to think about how the reefing will work, as the tack/clew will need to be tensioned to make the reef look neat.

Don't bother with a burgee halyard - just get one of those burgee clips at the top of the mast, and clip it in before putting the mast up. My wimple (actually it's a Dannebrogwimpel) is attached to the gaff end with an inglefield clip
