SD,
Thanks for the article! Totally new idea for me. Not to mention the idea of having a block within the boom to add to mechanical advantage for reefing on the previous posts from BF...
Also Re. Outhaul.... holy crap. I was just about to write "you obviously misunderstood me..." but damn, you're right! Why waste 2 sheaves? Gonna take a look at that!
Thanks,
Craig
