THE LUGER SAILBOAT MOORING - SERVING LUGER OWNERS AND THE WEB SINCE 1999 AT HOME PORT WWW.LUGERBOATS.COM

This is the Leeward mainsheet configuration demonstrated in the 1987 Luger catalog.  The set-up has many good points, but doesn't allow the owner to easily take advantage of the boom's roller furling system. 

Also, if this system is employed, be sure there is ample support/bracing of the centerboard well.  The stress caused by the constant shifting and changing of the sail on the centerboard well structure could cause fracturing of the fiberglass, or a leak around the well and hull joint..

This alternate mainsheet system was also suggested as a rigging option in the blueprints that accompanied my 1981 Leeward.

This method would allow the boom's roller furling feature to be easily employed. 

A loose tang is added to the end of the boom, and a topping lift holds the boom while the sail is adjusted. 

(Be sure your sail doesn't have a roach that will rub against the topping lift.)

This is the mainsheet rigging option demonstrated in 1974's catalog.

This is the mainsheet system used on the earliest Leeward 16s - back in the sixties.  I've seen a system like this used on AquaCat catamarans.
