[Rhodes22-list] Re-threading the IMF furling line

[David Keyes]

Frank, I just let gravity feed the black in-haul line through the boom.  It only needs to work its way as far as the open slot near the cleat less than half way towards the end of the boom.  If needed, you can fish for it with a wire.

Does anyone have any tips on how best to do that? Any other suggestions on things to watch for as I finish reassembling the rigging?
