Outhaul Control

 

Tim Stombaugh provided these pictures of the outhaul used on his boat.  It is an external system with a jam cleat under the boom.  It has a 2:1 purchase on the boom with a doubler at the end of the boom, providing a total of 4:1 purchase on the outhaul.

Shown below is one of Joseph Samson's (FS1925) drawing of the outhaul system.
