Santiva's boom end cutout
Santiva's elliptical boom had to be cut down to the flat underlying
the foot-rope groove to provide a mounting
space for the outhaul block.
Within the boom, Santiva uses a 4:1 Ronstan tackle,
similar to the fiddle blocks shown on the Harken site
for a 4:1 internal system. Descriptive text on the index
page outlines the differences between the system shown by
Harken and the one used on Santiva.
