Steve, Could you post a close up picture that shows the boom connection/downhaul, and mast rotator?
In your picture it looks like the downhaul is 4 to 1? Is that enough? And does the mast rotator connect to the front beam? I've been working on the whole downhaul/mast rotator placement on my A cat and I'm interested in seeing new ideas.
What do you think about the rotator not having a relationship to the boom? The reason I ask, is that if the rotation is connected to something other than the boom, when you adjust the travelor, you change the rotation.
If the rotation is connected to the boom, the relationship is fixed to the boom and traveling in or out doesnt impact the rotation.
Boom mounted rotation seems to be the most popular, the only other exception I've seen is on a Flyer A cat. Its connected to the tramp. See attached.
Wouter any comments?
And is that a beam in the middle of the tramp running aft? If so that must be a real knee basher.
