For me, having a powerful outhaul is much more important than having a powerful cunningham, and I think I have a devised an 8:1 or 10:1 outhaul (i can't seem to figure out which.) However, I have a question, for turning points does the dead ending of a line at the outhaul fairlead count as a turning point? I don't think it does because the line is not moving through it.
My system:
You attach a double micro block to your clew, and a block to the outhaul fairlead. You start the line at the outhaul fairlead, lead it to the double block, back to the fairlead block, back to the double, back through the outhaul fairlead then lead that rope to about mid-boom and attach another block. You then start a rope at the mast lead it through the mid-boom block back to the mast block then down to the deck. By my count that is 6 turning points. And this incredibly powerful outhaul would be really easy to pull in even from a hiked position.
Any comments or questions?
