Oh, another thing.
I put plastic covering on the forestay bridles and the bottom of the forestay (simple lifeline covering) to help the sheets come accross with less friction. Downside is traps water and you have to be careful about inspecting the wires for wear/rust.
Over thinking? Probably <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />
Got the idea from an HT i used to own with split forestays.
You can see the pic in my boredom inspired thread entitled "Nice colors" which show my new main and spin.
