I am changing out all my running
rigging. The
outhaul rigging has given me some pause.
It has a wire line with a shackle eye at the clew end of the boom. It has a double braided
rope running over a sheave at the goose neck. All good so far.
When I pulled it out I discovered the double block shown in this
photo (ignore the smaller line, that is the messenger I used)
As near as I can tell, the bitter end of the line has to be anchored somewhere inside the boom, however I can't find anything that is accessible to
anchor it to.
Any thoughts are welcome
(I apologize for the rotated image, I have tried for an hour to get it find the EXIF orientation information without success)
