Bobby,

Andante came with a simple setup which seems to work reasonably well,
and would use your existing mounting points.  We have a double block
with a becket shackled to the end of the boom and a double block
shackled to the end of the sail.  This creates a 4:1 at the end of the
boom, then the line is simply led forward to the cleat.

Andante - 152

>Hey Yall,
  
>Currently, my outhaul consists of a line running from the clew around a
single block at the end of the boom then forward 
>to a cleat on the boom.  With this configuration, I don't seem to get
much purchase and I'm not able to really get the foot tight.  
   
>I was thinking about putting in the 4:1 configuration indicated at on
this link: http://www.harken.com/rigtips/outhaul.php 
   
>Any suggestions?
   
>Thanks,
>Bobby
