Sort of New Rig Photos Page

[Lightnsail]

Ok, so I picked up everything I needed to update the outhaul, vang, ets... and I opened up the box and well, instructions were somewhat lacking. I did my best and took some photos and would like input from others regarding:

1. Did I rig properly?
2. Any suggested changes?

Here's the page showing how I rigged the boat:

I would try to tie the clew tighter to the boom. The outhaul 'bracelet' is a good idea.

You should have a mast retaining line run through the cunningham and outhaul blocks on the deck, crossed in front of the mast, then tied above the vang.

Tie your clew all the way down to the boom. You can also fine tune your vang so that the hanging block is all the way up to the block that hooks into your boom while the vang is loose. This will give you more room to adjust the vang. You can also add one more block to your outhaul if you wish.
