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.

(I posted about it a while back with the link to the picture:

BTW, I have a 3:1 arrangement on the end of the mainsheet at my bridge deck 
traveler, and 5:1 purchase for the Garhauer traveler.
