I need advice re mizzen boom diagram or schematic of reefing system.
The goose neck end bracket holding the pulleys has pulled out of the boom due to rivet corrosion.
I have the boom end supported in its trestle, the boom has moved up to the mast jamming against the goose neck, so the lazy jacks are not holding it up.
There is quite a lot of sail weight, they are fully battened, should I hoist the sail to relieve weight from the boom in order to be able to refit the bracket and re rivet with Monel rivets.
Any advice welcome.
