That's a stupid thing to do. What about the lines that run through
the boom?


Real sailboats have all external lines. The in-mast and in-boom lines
are an invitation to disaster as are roll-up sails.


I guess you never heard of an outhaul. If you have an adjustable
outhaul, it has to run inside the boom.

Not so! I have an external outhaul. It is a four-block purchase outhaul.
One should avoid interal lines at all cost.

What is an "external" outhaul? The outhaul is the line attached to
the clew of the mainsail. It runs through the boom.

It depends on the boat. The catalina 27 has an external outhaul. The
bad thing is that you have to leave the cockpit to adjust the tension.

JR, don't be too upset with Horvath. He thinks his hunter is the example for
a good boat. He's ignorant.

Go ask your Laser champion to show you an adjustable outhaul that is
*NOT* run inside the boom

I thought you were talking about sailboats. Many larger boats than a
Laser have no internal rigging. You might want to check it out.
