Rob,
First of all congrats on acquiring Soave. I was a contender for her before the PO put her in the hands of a yacht broker. Nice boat, nice lady but in the end it didn’t work out. I do know she put an awfully lot of work via the yard into the upgrade. As for the block and tackle I would think that could be used in conjunction with a fixture that slid into the two holes in the aft end of the wishboom that allowed one to hoist an outboard to a stern rail motor mount or even a MOB back onto the cockpit. I forgot who came up with the thing but I saw it here on the INA discussion group.
Good Sailing,
Brian Cayer
