[Rhodes22-list] Raven's outhaul sketch.pdf

[Bill Effros]

Thanks, Peter, I'll try it.

And thanks for taking the time to do the drawing.

When I got my boat it came with a boom car that had nothing to attach to 
on the car, just a block.  When I replaced my IMF it came with a 
different car.  The new car could be mounted in either direction...there 
are many variations, and I've seen different R-22s rigged different 
ways.  Your way makes a lot of sense, and I'm anxious to try it.

The new boom also came with the cam cleat directly under the hole in the 
boom.  This is a good thing.  Very fast.  Stan has made a special 
bracket for his boom that will allow you to retro-fit it.  I may still 
try the clam cleats below the boom, as that sounds like a good idea, 
too.  But the cam cleat below the hole allows you to fasten the outhaul 
line exactly where you want it in an instant and tidy up later.
