In my DF1000 the boom topping lift is simple rope from end of boom to top of mast and from there to a carabiner at end of boom. With to much wind is not easy sometimes to fix or remove the carabiner to the boom.
Most of sailing vessel have usually a more elaborate system:
End of boom to top of mast, then to bottom of mast and from there to a stopper and winch.
Have anybody change to a more elaborate system?
Problem is that there is not any free block at bottom of mast neither any free stopper

Re: Boom topping lift
Remove the boom top lift and adjust the Lazy-Jacks top pair to carry the boom. This works fine with my DF.
This allows you to have a big roach at your main sail leech. Also a square top sail is possible.
