My setup is similar to yours - 3:1 purchase plus the self - tailing winch. The more purchase you have with a triple block means it will take longer for the boom to go in and out when you change direction. Also, in light air, you may have too much friction for the boom to go out by itself when going downwind, and your crew willhave to push the boom out. My boat came with a setup similar to Josh's, and I switched over to the present configuration.
