What would that look like? How do I rig in a fine tune? I think I've seen something like it before but I can't get my head around it right now..hmm

With mid boom sheeting this is more difficult due to the short fall of the sheet tackle.. The diagram below (with minimized parts for simplicity) is one way to install a fine tune but requires that the fine tune be led forward and aft on the cabintop to a cleat.
Red is mainsheet (4 to 6:1) and blue is fine tune (3-4:1) should work OK on your boat. We have a 34 foot frac rig with a big main, using 4:1 on both, it's minimal - the fine tune works fine, (functionally 16:1) but we have a tall bridgedeck so we have limited adjustment. The 4:1 mainsheet hardens up pretty early - we may go to 6:1 one day. I do like the reduced line on the cockpit floor and the speed of the 4:1 though.
