1994 Hunter 19 Topping Huntwr

[mrcampbell]

How would you recommend attaching the topping lift to the boom of a Hunter 19. Thanks.

If you have any pictures that would be helpful.

There is a video online using a shackle, but mine does not have one.

I had mine rigged thru the boom. The line from masthead ended a few feet above the boom with a single part block. The line thru the boom was tied to one of the bails at the rear , led up and thru the block above, back down and entered the boom over one of the 3 sheeves. It exited at the mast end to allow lifting the boom or releasing for sailing. You can secure the mast end either via the jam cleat on the boom (if it is not too worn) or as I did by rigging a turning block and cleat on the cabin top.
Sorry now that I didn't better document my setups with photos, but hey, I was anxious to go sailing
