Internal boom halyards.

Having recently purchased a h22 I have a question concerning the three internal lines in the boom. The previous owner is no help and we do not have a manual with the boat. I can't seem to figure out what they are all used for. One is for the out haul, and I believe one is for the slab reefing. The out haul runs through the boom and fastens to a cleat on the underside near the mast. The other two lines run through the boom exiting at both ends. The ends near the boom have cam cleats while at the outer end of the boom the lines run around a pair of sheaves (sp?) I have rigged one of the lines to work with the reefing, but the third remains a mystery. Any help would be appreciated. Thanx in advance, Gary Guisinger

The 3rd line is the topping lift Gary or....

Maybe a second reef point. I'd bet money on topping lift though.

Topping lift ...

is most likely what is the 3rd line as Greg S suggests. The description of your boom sounds just like the H23 which has an outhaul in the center, a reef line to starboard, and a topping lift to port running inside the boom. Greg Hartgraves S/V Paradise

Topping Lift

As I rigged mine, your question was in the back of my mind. I have a 1/8" stainless cable attached to the top of the mast that connects to the boom via the line in the center of the boom. It enables you to loosen the topping lift when you are under sail so it does not effect sail shape. As said previously the other 2 are reefing/outhaul. Good luck! J.80
