Deck layout #2

OK lets go
  • At the forward edge of the cabin cutout are pulleys and dead eyes that lead the main and jib halyards back to the cam cleats at the edge of the cabin.
  • To each side of the halyard cleats are the dead eyes, three each side. The centre left is the tack line, to the outside on each side of the cabin are the cunningham dead eyes, on the inside on both sides are the vang dead eyes. The spinnaker halyard dead eye is in the centre stb side. No particular reason for this other than it works for us both being on the same side keeping the tack and halyard seperated so no one un-cleats the wrong line by accident.
  • Behind the dead eyes are the respective cam cleats in a diamond configuration, smaller cleats for the cunno and vang, large cleats for the spinnaker and tack line in the centre.
  • Behind the jib ratchet block and cleat is the tweeker control line, this line has a small block on the end and controls the spinnaker sheet height.
  • Just behind and below the tweeker is the traveller control line on 2:1 purchase system so even when its blowing we can fine tune the traveller while hiking.
