I Think Peppins set up is the same as mine, Mainsheet to Boom,spinnaker tack as part of the outhaul line, spinnaker uphaul to spinnaker and the list goes on, basically everywhere you have a conventional shackle if you wanted, they are particularly easy if you use D12 for all the lines and the added benefit of D12 is you don't get rope friction burns on the spinnaker.

On the split stay at the back I simply put a wire eye in the short line and then the sheet goes through without any problems every time, very simple and I'm not sure why people go to the bother of creating a split tail on the sheet.
