It sounds like Sean has a single continuous line. This will work great (and is probably simpler to use) but, you won't be able to disconnect the boom without re-threading the line through the boom each time.

I have a line tied at the masthead that extends toward the aft end of the boom. I have a line that is tied to the end of the boom that goes up through that block back down to a sheave at the end of the boom then through the boom to a jamb cleat near the forward end of the boom. This setup allows you to disconnect the boom for trailering or winter storage without needing to re-feed the line through the boom each time.
