OK, I have had it with the two line system, one for the halyard, one for the tack. Seems I'm always kneeling on one or the other and (along with the kinked halyard previously discussed) have been having a hell-of-a time snuffing my spinn. So I'm considering going with a small block on the end of the tack line through which the halyard will pass, so when I pull the halyard, the tack line pulls as well, and switching them both to Dyneema.

I know many of you have that set up already, before I start drilling holes in my front beam for a turning block and a new clete, what problems have you found with that system, that I might avoid? Pictures would be great before I drill holes. Oh, and I sail it solo most of the time, so no second set of hands to help, BUT, I want to keep my jib self-tacking track on the front beam so the setup has to run clear of that. <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" /> Thanks.
