Boom rigging

[mjp83]

Please help explain how to rig the boom on my 19 foot mariner:
I have seen the pictures of the owners manuals, but my boat has additional hardware.
One, my block and shackle on the centerboard only has one single pulley. Also, my boom has two blocks, one in the middle and one at the end. Both only have one pulley. The rear of the deck has two non adjustable single blocks, and the side, inline with the block on the centerboard and the center of boom, have a single block sitting on an adjustable railing. I have no rigs, only brand new line that came with boat.

I will try to post pics.

Here's something showing various ways to rig a mainsheet. I think figure 5.5 shows the "crosby rig" which I believe is what your boat originally had.

Those blocks on the tracks along the coamings of your boat are for the genoa sheets to lead through.

Thanks, yes the crosby rig is what I saw doing some research. Thank you for the link, this shows how i will have to rig it. I think its also a 3:1 rig. I may sail it like this for now, but will convert to a simpler rig with double pulleys on mid boom and centerboard and cleat. This is what newer mariners run, right?

Yes, I have mid-boom sheeting on my boat.
