Hello!
I know i've been gone a bit but the boat project is coming along smashingly. sadly i don't think i'm going to get paint done above the water line before putting it in this year but enoughs enough, time to go sailing
I was inspecting my sails to make sure everyything was on the up and up and found something odd on the leech of the sail, near the reefing points. There's a pair of cleats...

like those.
i'm scratching my head over it a bit and with the cheek blocks on the boom maybe its for easy cleating of the reefing you put in? it is above the reef points so maybe?
I also found a small block on the outhaul and i'm scratching my head over how that might be rigged properly too. almost like the line should run from the boom's end point to that block, down to the booms cheek, then forward to the cleat there? again, not sure
I really wish the boom and rigging was on this boat when i bought it now so i'd have a clue.
