Line for preventer?

[allene]

I use a bow cleat for the turning block. I want to add that I think it important that the line be long enough that you can release it at the cockpit and gybe letting the line free so follow the boom over to the other side, then attach the preventer on the other side after the gybe is complete. You could use two lines but you end up with a lot of line in the way of everyone for the lazy preventer.

Sounds like we're on the same track, Allene.
My tentative plan is to run 50 or 60 feet of 5/16 staset-x from the cockpit through a series of fairleads that are already along the bulwark on one side. I'll double it back through a snatch block by the staysail tack when I'm using it, or else just leave the ends coiled and out of the way when I'm not.
I'll see how I like it with one spectra line on the boom end with the option to mount one on each side later.
