If anyone cares <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> ... I am not sure how Matt is rigging the new boats, but on the Jav2 the tack line goes from the tip of the spin pole back under the tramp to a headbanger cleat mounted to lines attached under the tramp and comes up through a hole in the tramp about 1-2 feet in front of the center of the rear beam. This seemed odd to me at first but it actually makes a LOT of sense. When double handed the crew can concentrate on raising the spin and not have to worry about pulling on the tack line because the skipper does it. Also works well single handed because you are there and you pull the spin tack out as you move forward to raise the halyard. Tried to find a pic, but can't find one that shows it well
