Jack, another couple of problems you may have addressed. One is putting up the main sail on the water. The hook at the top of the mast is not easy to lock into or to release. I am either thinking of altering the hook to have a larger lead into it or just tying the main halyard off at the bottom of the mast. What keeps the main up on the prindle. Also since I motor out and in with an electric motor mounted just behind the mast, I would like to drop the main with the boom and sails held up off the deck. I plan to put a cheek pulley on each side of the mast, just above where the jib top passes the mast, and run two lines down to about the midpoint of the boom. Tied off they would hold up the boom and confine the sails. They could be slacked off or unhooked from the boom when sailing.
Any suggestions.
