Josh, Thanks for jumping in. For reference, it looks like this diagram. The traveler is on the bridge deck. The problem is the purchase. I might add a triple at the top and move the double to the bottom. That will give me 3:1 instead. But it doesn’t solve my wanting to trim the jib on the aft winches. Before I go buy a more traditional cascading set up like the Ronstan RP72900 4:1/8:1, I want to think it out.
