Craigtoo-

Read this article as to why I think why Double LIne reefing is better.

BTW, do you really need a 2:1 outhaul if the line is being lead to a line clutch and WINCH... Get rid of the internal block and free up a sheave and just run the outhaul to the winch.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
