Here's a shot of my vang and cunningham set up with raised main. The cunningham is the green line leading back to the port clutch, the red/white line is my mainsail douser leading back to a cam cleat attached to the top of my sliding hatch cover.

Frank,
Do you have your main downhaul just clipped to your halyard shackle? I like that arrangement.

BTW, your engine raising bungee thingie on our Tohatsu works like a dream, thanks for the idea.

No, the downhaul line is attached to the cringle below the head board, about two or so feet down the luff.

Frank do you have a closer picture of that mast step? Looks like mine (without the attachements points for blocks) but you managed to attached a block to it.

Thanks Frank. So you do have the special Mast step with the holes to put in blocks. I don't. I wonder if there would be another way besides changing the whole mast step?

Actually Steve, if Frank's is like ours, it's a separate piece that just bolts on.

Not a dumb question, unless you're yanking my chain

The green line is knotted through the Cunningham cringle just up from the gooseneck; it doesn't go through it to a cleat.

Don't want to hijack this thread, but could you have a look at the following mast steps from Catalina Direct and tell me which one looks like it would work on a C250?

Steve,
The second one looks more like ours, but we only have the tabs on the side of our plate, nothing in front or back. However, it would be handy to have a couple in the back. The first one looks like the bolt pattern is the same as ours though.

Measure the diameter your keel post inside the boat, it's a single piece of SS pipe from the top of the boat to inside the cabin, or at least it is on a WK. Then measure the bolt pattern on the top, if it's a fit, I'd say either one would work well.
