I bought a V21 and want a detailed diagram of how the rigging for the boom blocks or even a better idea on the rigging for this would look like, ( I'm talking about the sheet control rigging). The owners manuals are no help when it comes to this part. HELP

simple rig

My Venture 21 #2347 had a very primitive end- of-boom mainsheet setup. The boom was set up for roller reefing the main, so the mainsheet block hung from a tang bolted to the end of the boom. It led down to a swivel base mounted at the port aft corner of the boat that had a standup single block with a becket and a cam cleat to grab the sheet. The sheet began at the becket, ran up to the block on the boom then back down through the block on the swivel and to the camcleat. The purchase was 2:1 but that's not bad for end of boom sheeting on a boat of that size. I'm planning on racing my V21 so I'm going to a mid-boom traveller setup and regular slab reefing.
