I derigged my boom yesterday, so before doing so shot a few photos. I’m going to keep it around for a while to make sure I definitely don’t want it, but I think it’s going to go into the garage for good when I get north in the spring. The staysail just flies better off sheets and the foredeck space this frees up is really nice to have.
The photos should show pretty well how mine’s rigged, and that’s worked about as well as I can get the boom to run. It runs from a becket block at the track through regular blocks on the boom, through a block at the base, then through three blocks at the bases of stanchions (one pictured) to a secondary starboard cleat on the starboard side of the cockpit. Let me know if you have any questions!
