[Public-List] Mainsail Outhaul

My lines are led back to the cockpit. Here is how  m outhaul works. the line to the clew starts at the aft end of the boom and goes to a block attached to the clew of the said and from there it goes to a cheeck block just aft of the mail sail on the port side of the boom. From there the line goes through to a block that hangs on the bottom side of the boom and down to a standup block on the deck. From there the line goes to a deck organizer and a rope clutch on the cabin house. The outhaul is made tight with a 16 Anderson winch - which  manages other lines as well. May sound complex, but it works and keeps me in the cockpit. No problems with friction or lack of purchase.

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
