All lines aft will let me set up the new mast step system that I have been wanting to do for several years now. This also allows me to raise and lower the sails without having to go on deck, something that is getting harder to do now. This installation consisted of the turning block ,which was hard to locate on the deck because of the bathroom bulkhead. The jam cleats for the line, these are offset from the winch so that the line will not rub on its side when the winch is pulling the line. The winch is centered on the upper deck . This location is important because it has a heavy backing plate on the back side. The other 2 components pass through both inner and outer decks . The entire deck is wood sandwich so oil canning is not a problem, Making it look clean and neat is.
