Main sheet rigging

[rchuyck]

I am rigging a 1983 27' Hunter and have a question about the lines running down the center of the boom. There are 3, one is the outhaul and the other 2 are used for ?? The boat came to me un rigged and am now trying to determine their use. All of the photos that I have seen show none of those lines being used at all. The main sheet lines all run from the blocks on the cabin top to the 3 blocks on the boom.
Any assistance is appreciated
Thanks
Randy

Outhaul, Reef point one and reef point two.. Or could be one reef point and a topping lift if the mainsail has only one reef built in..

I agree Claude, reefing is about the only use that I came up with

Thanks for the help

take a look at this. Not for the 27, but still probably what you need. would give you the info for either option above.

My 1980 had two in use when we bought it - topping lift and outhaul. I have since ran a line through the extra one for reefing.
