Shagbark, that picture was taken a couple years ago, there is more stuff up there now and a little more going to be added.
The check blocks on my boom are part of my reefing system. A small horn cleat has been added to the boom in a revision to my reefing system with the addition of a reefing hook on the gooseneck. The two deck blocks were originally used with my reefing system, but not in use currently. The fair leads and cam cleats on each side of the horn cleats are for the main and jib halyards. Those cam cleats came off my dad's 1968 O'Day Mariner 2+2. In addition to what you see in the picture there is now a clam cleat with fair lead for my jib down haul, my barber in-hauler clam cleats w/ fair lead, and some hardware will be added soon for the spinnaker halyard. It's getting crowded up there.
