Starboard mast.

Forward boom.

Forward end of the boom. The foot (blue) is chafed because some riggers messed up. This is significant because the reefing lines will chafe. We use strops to take the pressure off these lines when we reef for more than a couple of hours. This is common in Catana 52's (at least).

Aft boom.

Aft boom.

Main sheet.

Aft port. Gennaker sheet, solent furler, spinnaker sheet, and dagger board line.

Aft starboard. Gennaker sheet, gennaker furler, spinnaker sheet, and dagger board line.

There is an access panel at the aft end of the tube containing the reefling lines, etc. It's a pain to thread a new line because it's hard to get it on the pulley.
