 Ian & Julie Sat 15 May 2021 07:59:15 | Ours too is just a line tied and wrapped round the end of the boom. We leave it tight but some sailors like to fiddle with the tension and will occasionally slacken this line so as to create a 'belly' in the mainsail when sailing in light winds. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Outhaul | |
