I see Sarah (and I assume Whoosh) have moved the mizzen sheet to clam cleat mounted just inboard of the end of the boom.
http://www.svsarah.com/Sarah/ewUpgradeDeckRig.htm#Running_Rigging_-_Mizzen_MastLooks like you have a fiddle block with becket, clam cleat and adjustable shackle, something like I see on the Garhauer site: http://garhauermarine.com/catalog_process.cfm?cid=9
What size did you use for the block, line, etc? Also, what’s up under your sail cover? I hope that’s not too personal to ask. I assume you mounted a dual becket to the boom bail which is under there (at least on my mizzen there is one).Thanks,

Thanks Dawn and Patrick! -
Patrick,
The cam cleat is on the fiddle block on the stern rail, not on the end of the boom. The fiddle block is on a snap shackle. I move the snap shackle to the leeward running backstay pad eye when the mizzen is set. The lazy running back stay is attached to a D-shackle on the mizzen inner shroud. It works well except when taking. I need to add a small tackle to control the mizzen boom while I am moving the sheet block from one side to the other. Still better than running the mizzen sheet down the boom to the mast.John
