Rick, If you have a 3:1 for the mainsheet, I really, really recommend a 3:1/6:1 arrangement that I use. It was one of the better upgrades I made. It has all benefits of 3:1 (especially, when you do a gybe - much less line to handle) and of 6:1 (much easier to trim, especially in heavy winds and close hauled), without the drawbacks of a simple 6:1.
The only problem is that Garhauer does not list this block in its catalog (I think it was originally created for one of their vang arrangements). But you can ask them directly.
