[C320-list] halyard/topping lift

[Allan S Field]

Just to confuse this further...  Sea Shadow to port has the first reef line,
jib halyard and spinnaker halyard.  To starboard, main halyard, second reef
line, and vang.  Topping lift and outhaul both on the same cleat at the
mast.

Jeff, I wanted to set mine as you did, but I have 2 jib halyards and out
haul on the port side, main, vang and reef to starboard. Any problems with
outhaul and vang to port? (Vang would cross over a bit-any hatch issues or
turning block binding?)

Thanks,
