Hey thanks for the posts guys, i wish i had found this site earlier i guess i found it now because this is the season to get your boat ready around here, anyways, i actually have a new boom, and the main sheet is not original, i couldnt actually tell you right now how many blocks are on it (in storage) but i know there are quite a few and the sheet is extreemely long to get through the pully set up, also there is a mount so that i could set it up for a boom vang witch i have not yet done, although i must admit that i did not know you were supposed to take the pin out while sailing so the mast could rotate, i figured it must stay in to hold the mast in, are you supposed to rely on gravity and the rigging to not allow for the base of the mast to pop out?
