I sail with my bimini up, but it’s pretty low. Don’t have a dodger yet.returnofthemac wrote: ↑Sat Aug 13, 2022 1:44 pm
This should be easier to see.
It looks like glass where you were! We had good winds in TX today but I wasn't out on the water.
Quick observation: Did you have the bimini and dodger on with the boom off to the side? This rolling boom seems to sit really low. I haven't seen what the regular boom looks like. When I put it all together my hopes of having a bimini up while sailing disappeared!
So, I'd like to confirm the halyard and outhaul routing, as well as the boom and boom vang setup.
Aft boom bale is your main sheet connection. Forward boom bale is for your vang.
The second sketch is much better. Thanks.
Halyard looks correct.
I’m assuming the inhaul is your main furling line. If so, that is the way mine generally runs.
The mid-boom cam cleat on the furling line is the one I can’t understand; but that’s how mine was run also. I will change that if I can get the sail shape right.
There should be another small line with a boom cleat for your cable tension in the mandrel.
I’ll get a few pics after church.
