Need to get them up on my website some day for even easier reference. This is on an M17 so might be a bit tighter for space on an M15 boom but then maybe could use smaller cleats, line, etc. also. Two pics show the outhaul rigged as in the now-gone video I mentioned last post. Bowline loop at end of line. You can just see the tip of the loop between boom and boltrope. Feed free end under & around boom, through bowline loop, through cringle, then to outhaul block. Keeps clew close to boom without any other line or hardware needed. Other pics show (may not be attached in this order): Rear of boom with outhaul routing block and first reef block with lines in place. Clamcleats forward on boom for outhaul and first and second reef. Boom from rear to clamcleats (big picture view of the setup). There's no second reef line in place in the pics but you can see the block and clamcleat for it. Clamcleats are just aft of the vang bail, you can see it forward of them in a couple of the pics. If anyone wants the full size pics for seeing more detail let me know off list.
