first



the only question is just how much purchase is inside this boom of doom?

  1. Purchase: Guessing lots. Somewhere between 32 and 36:1.

    Got enough travel with the internal setup? The block at the mast base must cop a thrashing - my prediction is that will blow up and need replacing with a wire block or some other higher load contraption.

    Looks very neat though! Something to think about... the trick will be to fit all those blocks inside my skinny-ass think-walled assassin boom without them binding up.

  2. No silly the mainsheet goes in there!

  3. It all worked except for breaking the strop. Will look into cause.

    I tried end boom sheeting on stress less when it was first launched and didn't like it one bit. Always got caught around the wings and wrapped around the end of the boom.
