[quote=skarr1]Is 3 a cheek block?
From the mounting angle of 1 & 2 they look like main sail. Start at 1 and go through the grommet in the sail, down to 6 back to through the grommet to 2. This would be a two to one down haul.
If you have a furling jib the halyard is pulled back through the jib luff zipper and tied at the jib tack.
For the jib start at the eye strap 5 ether a new block on the halyard or jut through the thimble and back to 4. Two to one.
This would work but I am guessing.....There might be a better way....
Ann Arbor is a little far for me, looks like the original owner might be you best bet.

no, 3 is an eyestrap. I just use it with that shock line to attach the main halyard. That has the be the only use for the eyestrap Im guessing.
As far as your guess for downhaul, that is EXACTLY what I was thinking as well.
And no, it's not a furling jib. And your description sound good except for the fact that I will run out of room. The Jib halyard literally will come all the way down to 4/5, giving me no room to add a block. I MAY have enough room to just go through the thimble though, I'll have to give it a try.<!-- editby --><em>edited by: gordonjs, Sep 13, 2009 - 12:35 PM</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
