I'm getting a new front beam for my 5.5sl. I believe the control is called the barberhauler (one that pulls the jib block down towards the beam, to open the slot when going off the wind)

The current system on my boat stinks. Wondering If someone out there has some pictures of a neat or trick setup that works well. The 5.5 has adjustments fore/aft, and side to side of the jib sheeting blocks. This adjustment I'm talking about actually pulls part of the 2:1 purchase forward and out, effectivly opening the slot. Not sure if that is a good description of it or not?!?

Anyhow, if you have pictures of your setups, please post them. I'd like to make this nice, neat, and above all functional!

Thanks!
