Hi -  I got my C&C27 last June and I am in love. Hull 276 from 1973. She is in wonderful condition.

I am relatively new to sailing and definitely new to boat owning. I am completely confused by my outhaul... can't figure out how it works, how to release it, tighten it, anything.

I have a furling boom that is an old hand crank variety that rolls the main. It is in the shape of a squished oval.

There is a wire/small cable lead at the back of the boom and a small line about 1/3 of the way in from the mast on the bottom of the boom that ties off at a cleat. I am assuming this is my outhaul line. <img src="emoticons/icon_question.gif"> I can release the tension on the line but cannot pull tension on the lead wire. Is it just tangled in there maybe?

I'm not even sure how to look up information about it online... i was hoping to see some pictures of inside and out and maybe find a good reference site.

Any advice? Thanks!!!! Shel
