Josh, That’s a cool setup. I may steal elements of that and as Mike noted, I can always trim main on the primaries. Not having a rats nest on the cockpit floor is a benefit. And mark roundings are easier with the 2:1, at least until we get to the last 20% or so. Next project will be making the traveler easier to adjust from the helm as well. It may be as simple as flopping the fiddle blocks. I’ll take some pix this weekend for input. Thanks, Chuck
