Adjustment helps you adapt to the changing wind environment, allowing you to comfortably stay out on the water when others are headed back to re-rig. It only takes a few seconds longer to rig than a fixed outhaul system. The bigger the sail, the greater the benefit of having on-the-fly adjustability. and a boom with two pulleys in the tail piece. Most freeride and race booms have these built-in. If ordering a new boom that does not come stock with adjustable outhaul pulleys, ask us about an optional upgrade. With your boom and outhaul kit in hand, follow the instructions provided with our adjustable outhaul system for the initial boom installation, it only take a couple minutes: If you find that you are overpowered and have a lot of pressure on the back hand, flatten the sail by adding outhaul tension. This will increase tension and stability in the sail, and will move the draft further forwards. If you find yourself wanting more power, let off some outhaul tension. If it's your first time using an adjustable outhaul pay close attention to how the sail feels different when you add or let off varying quantities of outhaul. With only a half hour of experience you will get a feel for how a change in outhaul tension affects the feel of your rig. Generally, you will also find that pulling more outhaul to head upwind will improve your efficiency and upwind angle, while heading downwind or on a broad reach less outhaul will be faster and more stable. Play around with these adjustable outhaul basics and you'll find yourself with increased comfort on the water, less re-rigging, and accessing all the gears and potential your rig wants to provide. | How to Use a Mainsheet TravelerBetter Sail Trim Means Faster Boat Speed - Snowboarding
- Scuba Diving & Snorkeling
Although the mainsheet tackle attaches to a fixed point on some smaller sailboats , most cruising and racing sailboats have a mainsheet traveler that allows for better positioning of the boom. This provides the best sail trim and boat speed. Learn how to use a traveler for your next sail by centering the boom upwind and more. What Is a Mainsheet TravelerThe mainsheet traveler is a device that allows for changing the position where the mainsheet tackle connects to the boat. The traveler is typically mounted either in the cockpit or on the cabin top for mid-boom sheeting. Different forms of mainsheet tackle may be used, but the principle is the same: the tackle connects between the boom above and the boat below. Usually, the tackle connects with a car that can be moved to port or starboard by control lines that lead to the cockpit. In the traditional type of traveler, each line leads back to a cam cleat. To move the traveler car to port, release the starboard control line and pull in the port line. Reverse this to move it to starboard. Centering the Boom UpwindA primary use of the traveler is to keep the boom centered when sailing close-hauled. Because the mainsheet tackle covers a span between the boom and the boat attachment, the boom will move to leeward no matter how tight the mainsheet is sheeted in. Moving the traveler car slightly upwind when sailing close-hauled can bring the boom back over the centerline to gain the most power from the mainsail. Be careful not to bring the boom to windward of the centerline, however. This causes a loss of power. Trimming With the TravelerIn many situations, the mainsail is trimmed further off the wind by letting the sheet out, allowing the boom and sail to swing farther to leeward. The force of the wind on the sail also causes the boom to rise, however, making the mainsail less flat. In certain situations on points of sail between close-hauled and a beam reach, it may be better to trim the main by moving the traveler down rather than letting out the mainsheet. With the traveler farther off center, the sail can be flattened by tightening the mainsheet and pulling down the boom, without pulling the boom back toward the centerline. Experiment With Your Own BoatLetting out the traveler reduces boat heel and weather helm, the tendency of most sailboats to turn toward the wind with a gust. This action of using the traveler position to pull the boom down is similar to using a boom vang to keep the boom from rising and putting more belly in the sail. While the vang is often a critical adjustment for downwind sailing when the boom is far out, and thus rises easily with wind gusts, the traveler works better upwind. As with all matters of varying boat gear and sail trim, it’s best to experiment with your own boat to see what configuration produces the most speed.

Captain CarlI have purchased a 1993 37.5 Legend. The running rigging and sails were missing. I think I have every thing figured out but the outhaul. There is a triangle slide in the track of the boom that the is pulled back to a pulley inside the end of the boom but where does the line come out? I don't see a spot in the boom for it to exit and tie off. ![sailboat outhaul rigging rgranger](https://forums.sailboatowners.com/data/avatars/m/93/93880.jpg?1583188187) Don't forget that there will be some type of tackle inside the boom to give enough purchase/power to engage the outhaul. I suspect that you'll have to pull the end cap off the boom to take a peek inside with a flash light to help determine how it's set up.... that's if no one has actual information. You can also look for the spar maker's label.... and try referencing it with a google search or rigging specialist web site such as Rig Rite or Rigging Only. FYI, most in boom arrangements will have the block and tackle anchored so that the whole thing can be pulled out by releasing an accessible fastener near one end or the other, or both. Good Luck. ![sailboat outhaul rigging Justin_NSA](https://forums.sailboatowners.com/data/avatars/m/76/76693.jpg?1524773847) They must have had trained hamsters to run the lines thru the blocks in the boom!

My out haul comes out front of gooseneck and through bottom pulley 1/3 way down outside of boom through another pulley then ties off on a boom mounted cleat.

Install the block on the boom eye strap, the fairlead cleat on the side of the boom, and reave the line as shown in the picture below. Simpler 2:1 outhaul is also shorter. In this system, the line runs through the clew grommet itself. The line isn't as easy to trim as with multiple blocks, but it's still easy enough.

Run the line out the front of the boom, down to another pulley and back to the cockpit. At the cockpit, you can have a cleat or a jammer AND use a winch (if there's one handy. If you're clever and careful, there should be no real change in outhaul tension as the boom swings from side to side.
