OUTHAUL
The outhaul should be secured to the strap (41) on the port side of the boom.
The other end should be passed through the cringle in the clew of the mainsail
(42) and then made up on the cleat (43) (see Figure 6).
An adjustable clew outhaul permits adjustment of the tension in the foot of the
mainsail while sailing. If an adjustable outhaul is fitted to your boat, the clew of
the mainsail should be secured with the small shackle and block as shown in
Figure 17.
