Andy, We have main sheet, main halyard, reef lines, outhaul, pole topping lift and pole foreguy leading aft.
Sounds like a lot, but it stays fairly organized and out of the way for the most part. Never had a reason to remove or add more. I have no problem going forward to attach luff cringle to hook. Need to sort out the extra reefed sail on the boom anyway. Merry Christmas and Happy New Years to all. David F.
