Bill,

That's waaay better than what I was thinking. You guys on the coast(s) get all of the good stuff.

I have a couple of questions about 76's set up. Do you find the 4:1 purchase is enough to comfortably/easily adjust the outhaul? Is the fixed block in the system attached to the inner tube mechanically or is there a line attached to it that exits the boom and is tied off somewhere to 'fix' the block's location. Or, is it attached in some manner that my wee-little, land locked mind hasn't even thought of yet? Did the tube add much weight to the boom?

I realize some of these questions may require a trip to your boat to answere. And, of course, if at all possible take some pictures.
