[C320-list] Retrieve Reefing Line from Boom

[sail-ability sail-ability]

   Another helpful trick is to remove the sheeves block in the end of the
   boom. Just take the line pressure off; loosen them and the block will
   just pull out. Makes it easier to work in the boom.

     Pretty simple actually. Pull it all the way through. Borrow or buy
     an
     electricians fish tape from home depot for ~$12, feed it in one end
     tape the
     line to it and pull it back through. It's happened to me with
     helpers the
     same way. It's no big deal, you'll see.
     Now, if you're talking about the outhaul which may have an internal
     block &
     tackle, that's much harder.

     I am hoping someone can help me. Last fall when my wife and I were
     preparing to haul our 320 for the first time, she pulled on the
     Reefing line
     and the end went into the boom. Has anyone ever had to retrieve the
     line
     from the boom and if so, any suggestions on how I can do this?
