A little off the subject. Could I move a 6 to 1 purchase directly from the track? Or will it pull the track off the boat? Thinking of using my boom vang tackle, when I replace with a ridged vang (don't tell my wife)

	Thanks for the photo Tom! Much appreciated!
	
	I'm out to the boat today to mock up some end boom sheeting and see where
	everything hits. When I do lines while my wife is at the helm I end up
	standing halfway in the companionway to manage the traveler and mainsheet,
	and I don't especially like that. I'm sure end boom sheeting will have
	annoyances of it's own.
