A nice day in Glen Cove, NY
In Response To: Summer here in Onset! ()

fiddling with the reefing lines and the "correct" way to attach the clew to the car of the boom and the outhaul. Two shackles both went to the car but in re-reading Hall spars literature (1996) this is pictured as "WRONG" with a line drawn the picture of my set up. Each the outhaul goes to the clew cringle and the car the the clew cringle, as well. After finding the right size shackle it was revealed that this "approved" set up lets the sail ride up and bunch up in a unsightly and messy override. Of all of this required Spanish windless to the back stay and after a whole morning I'm back to the wrong way that his served this boat for 15 years.
