[Rhodes22-list] Planjammers (?)-Special Request

[Wally Buck]

J,

I have a cable topping lift dead ended at the top of the mast with a block 
at the other end. I have a line attached at the end of the boom (like every 
other topping lift) that runs up to the block (a couple of feet) and back 
down to a cleat at the aft end of the boom. To raise or lower boom I just 
uncleat line and adjust. My 84 came this way and it works fine.

Wally
