Modifying Sun Cat's Rigging  TomRay, Tropical Boating I decided that my Com-Pac Sun Cat could be made even easier and more fun to sail with a few modifications to how the  sail is handled. The sail and gaff boom are much more controllable with lazy jacks, and the gaff boom gooseneck's tendency  to stick in the mast slot was annoying to my wife, so I wanted to install a downhaul on that gooseneck. Also, the outhaul on the main boom was not easily adjustable under sail, and the reefing system, while simple and  traditional, left something to be desired when used singlehanded. After making some measurements and gathering all the  needed hardware, I started drilling holes in spars. Clockwise from top left:  1. Hardware for tack reef point: Ronstan cheek  block and bolts, small SeaDog Clamcleat,  small eye strap, screws  2. Hardware for lazy jacks: two Harken cheek  blocks, two SeaDog clamcleats, and Harken  stand up block on spring for downhaul  3. Hardware for outhaul: Harken micro block,  small shackle, SeaDog Lite Clamcleat  4. Hardware for outhaul, also showing standard  Com-Pac clew reef line 37
