Outhaul 8:1 diagram ?

Hello,

I'd like to upgrade my outhaul system to 8:1 which is the latest and standard one on all new Lasers I think ?
I tried searching for diagrams but they all seem to be different and not sure if they are all legal. So is there an official diagram somewhere so I know how much line and which blocks to get ?

Cheers,
Tom
 
yea, im thinking of changing out my outhaul system, but i want to find a good way of keeping all the dingleberries and blocks, ive seen so many different systems i dont know which one to go with ( w/ maffioli 4 mm)
 
Hallo Nora171010,

Seem to be two threads running on outhauls.

To upgrade mine I used this Rooster link to go to 4:1

and then added a block on the boom clamcleat to make it 6:1

[I forgot to mention this block on the other thread :( ]

This gives me more purchase than the 4:1 [though it's enough for a skinny guy like me] but less string in the cockpit than the 8:1 set up.

I'm happy with it now. Hope this helps, Andrew
