[quote=nacra55][quote=catman449]  First boom is secured to mast with line from gooseneck eye to cleat on mast.[/quote]

Not sure what your doing here but it's not correct. The boom should not be secured to the mast with a line.

[quote=catman449]Downhaul line first secured to grommet in mainsail tack, then through angled block on gooseneck, then through fairlead in forward cap of boom, then apparently through double block with Becket, through double block, and exiting boom through a through-deck block on the bottom of the boom and the line is adjusted and secured with a fairlead cleat.  I do not know the purpose of the Becket on the double block.  Have photos of boom and blocks, but do not know how to attach to message.  Thanks for your help.[/quote]

Sounds like you are mixing the downhaul with the rotater. But most P16's don't have a rotater.

Pics of what you have would help.

Here's how to create your own photo albums and post pictures in the forum.
