Hello fellow sailors, Do any of you have pictures of how you routed external halyards, mainsheets and reef lines to the cockpit, I'm most interested in routing form the mast and where and how you mounted blocks. I'm starting to get lazy and would like to hoist my main from the cockpit. Thanks for your help -John

Don't Skimp on Turning Blocks

I don't have pictures, but one piece of advice I have is don't skimp on the quality of your turning blocks. On my halyards I skimped on quality. My halyards had so much friction I reverted to hoisting at the mast. After replacing the deck-mounted triple turning blocks with good, ball-bearing models, I can now hand hoist the sails most of the way up.
