I'm considering rigging the boomvang trim line back to the cockpit. The only thing that throws me off is the transition of the line from the mast out to the turning block. Could any of you help me out with a picture or diagram. Looks to me like a block needs to be mounted on the deck jast under the mast connection and turned out to the turning block. Thanks in advance for any help

I took the cleat off my fiddle block and took the block to the mast plate. The line simply ran out of the bottom of the fiddle to the deck organizer.

I just flipped mine so the tail is on the boom end.

Me too. But that loses one purchase. We put in another purchase to double it. Control is handy over hatch to below.

For my boomvang, I use a single block with becket at the base of the mast and a fiddle block on the boom, with the tail draping over the sliding hatch. So far, it's been enough. Tackle came from my mainsheet when I replaced the blocks with Harken Carbo Airblocks.
