Faster:
Great concept. I'll try to see how I can work that in where it makes sense. Really cool... I remember reading in SAIL or something about someone who had rigged fine tuning into their jib sheets.

BF: Plumper:
I've got 2:1 now on my traveler, and it's useless. Tomorrow a bigger main is arriving and I know I'll need some leverage. I'll probably start with the 4:1 and be so happy with the change.

I usually step-out the mainsheet as the wind picks up to spill air off the top and trim the traveler to the wind direction and gusts... Gonna have a boom-kicker installed before long. Everyboat is different!

Thanks guys this is really really helpful.

I'll update the drawing and post it again in an hour or so... need to get a report out for a client now....

All the best,
Craig
