My sails should be coming back from the cleaners soon, and I'd like to get my lines all properly in place. I haven't seen my boat properly set up (mast was not attached when I bought it) and I'm not sure I'm making the best use of the space. I've also got a Forespar rigid boom vang that's not attached yet.
I've got two small and one large winch on each side, and two cleats inside the cabin on each side. I've also got the mounted pulleys in the aft corners on the downslope of the cabin side. My topping lift is currently just tied to the aft of the boom (which neither looks nor feels right)
We sailed down from ME to MA on the maiden voyage under less than ideal conditions and assumptions were made about how best to run the lines. Some of those assumptions I've learned were wrong, and I've made changes, but it'd be great if I could see how someone with a lot more experience has it set up.
Thanks!
