Yup, except that it's already made. We had the control
line made extra long for the purpose, but didn't think to have it made with the double block on it (and neither did our sailmaker). If I can't find a double snatch block, I'll either use two singles, or have the control
line cut and respliced around a traditional double block attached to a swivel snap
shackle.
