Hi,

I'm in the process of leading all my lines from the mast to the cockpit, and
was thinking if I could take advantage of this and also install single
reefing lines for the mainsail and lead them after. Is this OK for this
boats???
I was planning to use the original reefing lines, install a cheek blocks on
the side of the the boom, as close to the gooseneck as possible, lead the
the line trough this block, then up to the reefing ring,  down to a mast
collar block and back to cockpit.
I was checking the Harken kit for small boats, but the cheek block has to be
attached to the mast, and I remember a Dehler 41 with this block destroyed
because of the boom angle. I guess this won't happen if install it on the
boom.

As always, any toughts, comments or recommendations will be appreciated!!!!
