Michael ... remember on the Vee Jays we lead the outhaul back to the cockpit and in line with a winch and cleat. The only thing we do from the middeck is the pole lift and in lighter conditions the spin halyards. That said I'm thinking 16 in. is probably more than enough wire out the end of the boom.

[Ann M was with us this weekend ... driving on Sat. and playing with us on 420s and Precision 15s on Sun. ]
