Yes, same single line setup here. It's one line going from the kite sheet point, to block at the sidestay, to ratchet block at the main beam, through the other ratchet block, the other sidestay block and back to the kite. But my sheet line slack between the ratchets is way longer than what you describe when snuffed, but when the kite is up I need this length to get it to the rear corner where I expect I'll be sitting/trapezing when it's windy... I have 50 feet of the damn thing, and it's crowding my tramp upwind.
