Do you have a reef
line setup with a single line and does it run aft? I have a padeye and a
cheek block opposite each other about `13" from the end of the boom that near as
I can figure, must be for a reef line....and then I have a padeye and a 4" cleat
opposite each other on the mast at the boom point. Cunningham or reef/cunningham
line? I'm guessing this was rigged with two lines that had to be operated
independently, one at the mast and one at the end of the boom....I don't like
that arrangement.
I've not been out yet in enough wind/conditions to worry about
reefing Thesaurus but plan to so I need to get it ready.
Secondly, has anyone ever run lines aft by using a double
block as a stand up at the mast base? My plate has enough room to attach
one item per side but I want to run two lines (main halyard and reef) on one
side and jib halyard on other, which is already set up with factory method.
Instead of attaching a double turning block (Harken 222) to the mast base where
I have possible interference with wires that exit, I was thinking of making a
double stand up block.....any ideas or suggestions would as always be
welcome.
And the rudder conversion is complete and swings just
fine...up and down. I sure obsessed for nothing on that
one....
