[Rhodes22-list] Update on IMF outhaul/furling running rigging changes made over the winter

[Peter Nyberg]

Reuben,

The exit block I used was a 'Harken 29mm Thru-Deck Bullet Block' (Harken model #287, Defender item #604915).  This mounts to the boom with a screw or bolt at each end.  I made a new slot in the boom for it because the existing slot was too long.

The blocks at the mast were sized for 1/4" line.
