All mapped out
My 1982 has halyard, mainsheet and vang led back to cockpit. The link below has an illustration under the C27 "Diagrams" button. It is a bitmap of original page from the paperwork that came with my 1982 boat, that the previous owners have wonderfully passed on with the boat. Love the rigging to cockpit and find singlhanding easy! Coincidentally I am adding lazyjacks this year, and there is also a great diagram for that on this site! Good luck. Roger

o'day owners photo forum
There are at least one set showing lines run aft on an o'day 25. If you look in the Photo forum you see a set by Don Evans titled lines aft. I'm in the process of doing it now based on don's model. Later, Mike

Yes to moving halyards
I moved all of mine on my 30. I also put all of them inside mast. A lot quiter on the hook. If its a big boat you need turning blocks at the base of mast. fasten eyes in deck plate. be sure to thru bolt them and pl5200 the bolts. there can be a hefty load at the turn. then set up deck organizer to bring the lines aft. then set up your sheetstoppers. making sure you leave the proper amount of room for halyard winches to feed properly. its a great setup but not cheap to do.

Don't Skimp
Don't skimp on parts, buy good, ball bearing turning blocks, properly sized for the load. You're adding quite a bit of friction to the system and you don't want to be disappointed in the results. I went the cheap route and ending up spending more than it would have cost had I gone first class in the first place.

Don't forget the reefing line
Running the main halyard back to the cockpit is very convenient, but it won't do much good unless you also run the reefing line to the cockpit AND figure out some way other to get the reef cringle over the ram's horn at the gooseneck. Otherwise you STILL have to leave the cockpit to reef the main properly. I found this out the hard way on a friend's boat which was identical to mine except all the lines were led to the cockpit. Reefing the main was harder because the halyard and reefing line were between sheaves at the mast base, so it was harder to manipulate them than if they had been hanging free. On top of that I had fight the friction in the system all the way back to the rope clutches. I'm not saying don't do it, just do it properly or you could be doing more harm than good. Happy sailing.
