Okay now i get the triangular thing hanging down. What were you saying, Jake, about the 3:1 purchase. I have a micro block attached to the end of the wire halyard. Attached is my mast setup. I guess i'm not sure what the two v-jams, cheek, and eyestrap are for. I haven't really figured out a downhaul or the 3:1 for the jib with the setup that i have. I was thinking for simplicity to add a double micro to the main, an eye strap on one side of the mast and a roller v-jam to the other for the downhual. Since i'm a broke college student, i can't afford pivoting blocks or anything fancy like that. What would you suggest for a jib halyard setup?

And now worries on the snow These pics are a few months old.
