I am having a few problems figuring things out.
The downhaul system has me baffled. For the downhaul, do you just set the boom in place with turn screw and then raise the sail or is there a method for pulling the boom down after the sail is raised. There is an "eye" on the bottom of boom, about 8 inches back, and a cleat on either side of the mast.
The outhaul also has me perplexed. I've read about lines on the boom that are threaded through an eye in the sail and then cleated. My boom doesnt have a cleat, but the mainsail has a line in it and the end of the boom appears to be set up to have a line go around it.
My Daysailer was built in 1961.
Thanks,
