Like an idiot, I dropped the shockcord for the downhaul inside the front crossbeam while stepping the mast Saturday. I have two questions:
1) How exactly is this system rigged and suggestions on how to retrieve the end of my shock chord that is missing? I had presumed this was a simple 1:1 shock chord but to my horror it appears to be a 4:1 system and isn't documented in the manual

. I do have one end of the shock chord for what its worth.
2) How do others store the downhaul system on these boats? Taking the blocks off the mast seems time consuming to me. Put hooks on the front beam shock chord? Other ideas?
Thanks again for any help, will trade for beer,
Sam
