Well, went out for a few hours this afternoon and on the way back in, my topping lift parted. I'd been planning to replace it as it was fairly worn but hadn't gotten around to it. Sooo, I'm looking for advice on how to set up the replacement. My old one was a single line that was tied to the end of the boom, ran up to the masthead and came back down to the boom. It parted at the top of the mast, due to chafe (and old age). Was looking at
some of the other boats in the marina and no two seemed to have the same setup.
Gotta get this done in the next week or two to get ready for the Good Old Boat Regatta. Any inputs are appreciated...thanks,
