Yeah, thanks Luiz. Possible, but it might foul with the main hlyd, as Pepin mentioned. Maybe I could run the release line in a long pc of plastic tubing.
Maybe not, seems like the trip line needs to pull downward on the snap shkl to get it to release. And if the trip line ran inside the mast, I'd need to be pulling on the trip line as I hoisted the main. Sounds complicated.....
