Neal,

You described how you tension the foot of your sail. I asked how you set
the outhaul when you ease it? Do you just depend on the boltrope
tension? What draws the outhaul in and maintains its' position.

Even on my old sail, with the shelf, I had a drawstring on the foot to
control the curve. You've never mentioned what maintains the curve of
the foot you set. Does the bolt rope supply enough tension to keep the
outhaul fast against the cleat? I figured that the bolt rope is looser
after all these years.

Just curious?
