I use a similar set up with a 4:1 block including a cam clear left over from my old boat when I went from a topping lift to a Garhaur vang. I have a attachment point on the boom about 3’ from the end and a Johnson bale on the rail about 4’ ahead of the standing rigging. It all goes on before the boom goes out.
You can see a bit of the setup in this video https://flic.kr/p/R4eD5F Tom Buscaglia S/V Alera 1990 C&C 37+/40 Vashon WA P 206.463.9200 C 305.409.3660 > On Mar 16, 2019, at 10:17 AM, cnc-list-requ...@cnc-list.com wrote: > > Date: Sat, 16 Mar 2019 13:16:22 -0400 > From: "Rick Brass" <rickbr...@earthlink.net> > To: <cnc-list@cnc-list.com> > Subject: Re: Stus-List Gybe preventer > Message-ID: <000a01d4dc1b$fab04230$f010c690$@earthlink.net> > Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" > > Ditto. > > > > My 38 has mid boom sheeting because of the bridgedeck mounted traveler.
