They attempted to clean up the rules on the outhaul back in Nov of '03. It's now clear that you can have two blocks at the gooseneck area, tied on with a line that does not have to count towards the two that make up the control lines for the outhaul.iain_CAN165061 said:I just have a few more questions about the outhaul rules & regs. What are the guidelines on the blocks located at the gooseneck (i.e. # of blocks, # of shieves on the blocks, # of lines to secure the block(s), etc).
Also, in the picture attached to this email, is the assortment at the end of the boom, the way the outhaul is attached to the aft end of the boom legal? (for those who cant make out the picture, it goes through the eye, through the clew block and then tied around the boom rather then the eye)
thankyou very much,
