Hey Doug, if you do that, make sure that the eyelets are thru-bolted. Rivets are not strong enough and will tear out. On a similar rig I had on my old P-19, I just hog-tied a line so both tails came off the top of the pole, then used trucker's hitches to the forestay bridle tangs to set tension. This was about 4' back from the tip of the pole, and never gave a problem.

Pepin: on the I20, the spin sheet is a single line, cut so that when the kite is snuffed, the bight between the two turning blocks on the mainbeam will just touch the rear beam. There, it is passed thru a block on a long bungee which sucks the slack (most of it hehe) to the rear beam. Good luck to you both.
