I don't have a lot of time right now but the "topping lift" attaches to the aft end of the boom to keep it up. If you hace a boom vang you may or may not need/want a topping lift. The guide ropes are calles "lazy jacks" and they are not designed to support the boom.
When I have time I'll write more.

I have the manual and it shows some length measurements, but I'm not fully educated on the terms. The only thing holding up the boom now is the old rope guides that keep the main from falling on the deck. When I bought her the SS cable that connects the back of the boom to the top of the mast was off and stowed below and there is only a connector on one end and bare wire on the other. Not sure how it connects to the boom...etc. I see a cheek block that I need to replace on the boom near the mast. I want to rig it the proper and best way, but I don't have any good drawings and just looking for some guidance.
