Outhaul Rigging Procedure       

Raider Sailboat One Design Class Association              

Step 1: Tie end of outhaul line (yellow in this photo) to the eye in the block using a bowline knot. Leave line as long as possible to get maximum travel during outhaul adjustment.

Step 2: This is the proper rigging of the cunningham/downhaul (purple) and outhaul (yellow).

Step 3: At the opposite end of the boom the outhaul line exits from the turning block towards the sail around the hook ( in this photo the line goes through the optional pulley) and back to the grommet in the boom with a figure eight knot securing it in place.
