It's just starting to get nice and warm down here in Aus. Been sailing for nearly three months and will sail until April next year.
I've attached a picture of what I was thinking of, the system in the photo off the spitfire is basically exactly the same as the Taipan, just with rope instead of webbing (and a big fat clewboard).
The system I was thinking of involves two webbing loops tied together with some small rope. I've seen it used before, but in my mind its still un-necessarily complex and only of use for very light winds.
