Right ok, i have finally got a 600, just a few questions. 1) At the end of the boom, where the outhaul meets the sail there is a block that runs along a metal bar. On that block there is supposed to be a shackle, my question is how big and where do i get one-(Any links)?....2) The continious kicker,, how long does it have to be...exactly?

Many thanks to anyone who can help

I think the shackle depends on the block that you have. As for the kicker, i would ring ldc who should know the length.

Is there a 600 in the boat park at your club that you could look at,then you would know how big the shackle is & possibly how to run the kicker and therefore how much rope.
