Mine have been rigged temporarily for quite a few years, now.

I put a couple blocks about 2/3rds the way up the mast, and now I think 
that's too high.  I might take those off and mount some to the spreader 
bases.

I ran a taut line under the boom so I could experiment with different 
attachment points before making holes in the boom.  Instead of blocks on 
the lines, I just tied loops.  That worked fine for a few years, but the 
lines have twisted and no longer slide easily.  I've thought about 
making some nylon slides that swivel.  Blocks really seem like overkill 
to me.
