When the stunsail booms are pulled in and lashed is there a set position for them? Is there a spot where they are lashed? How much of the boom should stick out past the end of the yard arm iron? Or does it matter much?
Hi Paul Ron,mike, does the book talk about any related rigging for the boom's operation? i cant see these heavy timbers being deployed manually without the help of rigging to prevent human harm. im sure the booms weighed hundreds of pounds, and with sails... sounds rather deadly on a rocking rolling ship at sea so high above the deck besides.
