Greetings, Fellow Mac owner!I am interested in adding hardware that will allow me to lead control lines to the cockpit of my Mac 26S. I would like to learn of successes, failures, tips, and advice of others who have tried this.My current plan is to install two mast-base lead blocks near the base of the mast, two on the starboard side and one on the port side. I would then add two deck organizers, one for the two lines that will run to starboard (main halyard and reefing line) and one on the port side for the jib halyard. I would add a double rope clutch on the starboard side and a single rope clutch on the port side, for the main halyard, reefing line, and jib halyard, respectively. (Or, depending on my budget, I might substitute horn cleats for the rope clutches). For the reefing line, I am considering adding a horn cleat to the port side of my mast. I would run the reefing line from that cleat through the reefing cringle, down through one of the mast-base lead blocks, and on to the cockpit and rope clutch via the deck organizer. I appreciate all thoughts and suggestions on this plan.
