Hi John,
When I raced one design sports boats we used a long bungee cord external to the boom on a bight through the outhaul shackle pulling forward. This kept the tackle from flipping / jamming, but also allowed us to ease the outhaul quickly in light winds, overcoming a multipart in-boom block and tackle.
Best regards. Rob

Hi Rob,
Good point. We did the same on 505s to keep cascading tackles from getting tangled, that’s how I knew it was good practice.
