Hi Jerry,

The block or ring or spectra loops (depending on what was chosen for the attachment to the yard) can be moved.

John’s instructions mean the attachment point along the yard for the rope loop that connects the block to the yard. So your idea is correct.

I am wondering about one of the tips, it says, “adjust yard halyard turning block to get the luff parallel to the mast.” It seems to me that adjusting where the yard halyard attaches to the yard would make that adjustment, rather than the block. Am I missing something?
