That all makes good sense. And yes, my 30-1 #7 has sheaves in the mast just above the cabin top for turning the main and headsail halyards out (athwartships) to winches on the dorade boxes.
The thing that still confuses me is, on these boats with mast collar tangs, how do the halyards exit the mast above the cabin top, if there are no sheaves in the mast and they require turning blocks on the mast collar?

Just a guess. The older models were not designed with vertical running rigging loads at the center of the cabin roof. There were horizontal loads leading from inside the mast to winches at the base of the mast Later models had halyard, reefing, etc blocks attached to the cabin top that lead aft to the cockpit. These loads are vertical. In my untrained brain I always assumed that was the reason for the tangs on my 30 MKII and the lack of tangs on my 30 MKI But again, I'm no engineer Rob Gallagher Hanuman 30MKII Noank Ct _______________________________________________ This list is supported by the generous donations of our members.
