>forestay tension and the number of holes in your forestay adjuster are irrelevant as long as you can lean the mast back far enough to achieve block to block sheeting<

Gavin, gave talks at the end of each day at Youth,Women,M, & GM Worlds.
As I intrepeted it, for the higher wind ranges, he said he was raking way forward COMPARATIVELY to everone else for:
more jib wire luff tension
more leech tension,
to flatten the main more:
He said releasing the jib halyard only decreases all the above.
He said he would prefer to let out the jib & main traveller to depower.

Vs Silvy's setup (Gavin called the OLD school of thought) is similar to what you describe.
(So coke or pepsi?)
