During the long winter evenings I have been thinking about modifying my M-17 standard rig to lead both halyards and a reefing line to sheetstoppers (main halyard and reefing line to starboard, jib halyard to port) on the cabin near the cockpit, and being new both to the boat and to single-handing would appreciate any advice from old hands who have been there and done that. For example, the cabin dome light is right below the starboard base of the mast and seems to get in the way of mounting turning blocks, and there is very little space around the forward end of the teak trim beside the hatch for mounting cheek blocks to turn the lines toward the cockpit.
I have also wondered if there are any tricks to changing headsails when single-handing to minimize the chances of water-testing my Type V PFD. Thanks in advance for any thoughts, Rick ************************************** See AOL's top rated recipes (http://food.aol.com/top-rated-recipes?NCID=aoltop00030000000004) _______________________________________________ http://mailman.xmission.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/montgomery_boats
