I will not have time to make pics in the coming week. But at the Zandvoort I'll ask our resident photographer to make a series of shots.

With respect to the spi tack halyard line. Picture it like this. It is exactly the same as your have now, but instead of running the light green line through the floating block you tie it off to this floating block. That is all.

You may have to tweak the line lengths a little bit to get everything to sit right after hoisting but basically this is the modification. As such it is very easy to try it out. I haven't done it yet because it is at the bottom of my listing of things I still need to do to my boat before the World Cup.

But it is an easy enough mod for you guys to try over the weekend.
