William: On my old M-17, I just drilled a hole in the masthead fitting, aft of the main halyard sheave and stuck a 1/4" diameter line through with a figure eight on top. The line drops to the end of the boom through a small block and is cleated on the boom. Once the sail is set, the boom rises enough that the topping lift is slack. I rarely have to adjust it. On the trailer, the topping lift is wound around the mast and stays. You can pop rivet a small terminal eye strap to the mast at the top, if there's no room for a simple drilled hole. Gotta have a topping lift...

I was wondering my Monty15 doesn't have a topping lift I'm wanting to put one on my boat. At the top of the mast do you just add another block for it? Or how are they normally ran? Dose any body have any pictures of how they are ran at the top and the back of the boom.
