Thanks,

I see your point.

It's just that I've never done this thing before, yet I want to do it "my way".

But, I guess, then, that how the Couta is, rigwise, that is how high I want to go.

Deadeyes for anything but the standing rigging is out.

I have to find a nice, simple block-system for the outhaul.

I need to have a narrower space between the blocks up high, or as you say, "wire span" (never heard that expression before)(I'm danish, and apparently empty headed, hehe).

Thanks for the answer, Brion - I do see that it's not just a series of questions, now that you put it like that. I need to buy some more books about this. More planning.

One question, though. Does anyone of you know of boats where most blocks are lashed to the boom, gaff etc? It doesn't even have to be a gaffer, although that would be nice.

I guess, in the end, that the lashing doesn't matter much, because if it can't hold/stay in place, I could attach some metal to hold the blocks in place, though. Trial and error.

Anyways, Thanks,

Andre

Edit: I'm sorry about the "bells", but I really am not trying to cheat in any way. I am in the process of finding out if my ideas were just simply stupid, because that way I might be able to choose the boat-style I want. My thinking was that if I could get so far as "Good idea, but you have to work a little more on it, especielly "there"", I would buy some plans for a boat, and then try somethings myself. If that didn't work, I'd find someone here that could help me (i.e. buy help). I had no intention of cheating, just to make it clear. I wanted to ask about some ideas to some people that knows about this stuff.
