Hi,
On my 29-2, there was no topping lift. It has a rigid vang. At the end of a day
sailing, I bring the main halyard back to the mainsail clew and haul up until
the boom is out of head bonking height. Then I snug up the mainsheet so it
won’t swing around. The traveller is off to the starboard

If you have a Boomkicker, get rid of the topping lift completely. One fewer
thing to remember when you set sail.
Before you remove it completely, maybe try moving it to the mast and not using
it for a while to figure

Thank you for all of the quick replies.
I assumed there was too much stress as the cheek block is pulling away from the

Colin,
First, as a suggestion, it is not the best practice to sail with a wire topping
lift. The wire can abrade the stitches in your main sail necessitating repair.
I use an entirely different configuration on my 35-1 although topping lifts are

Colin,
My setup is much like yours but without the purchase. A couple thoughts:
- Why do you think that there is too much stress on the cheek block? Is it
difficult to operate the topper? I have a similar block which I believe is

Does anyone have a picture of a standard topping lift setup for a C&C 29-2?
