In preparation for my new mainsail, I would like to replace the outhaul and the exit block--the outhaul is wire + rope and it's 32 years old. I would like to change it to all rope, using some high-strength, low- stretch rope which is yet to be selected.
I' m having a problem finding a suitable exit block--the outhaul runs internally through the boom and comes out thru an exit plate (as rope) just before a small winch. The existing exit block is intended for wire and doesn't look big enough to handle 5/16" or 3/8" rope. Has anyone else done this and where did you get an exit block that fits? Or did you enlarge the opening in the boom for a Schaefer exit block?
