I'm quite pleased with the system I have. In fact, I used to have the sheet length set so that there was only about 2 or 3' of slack so that even if all the slack was dangling in front of the main beam, it would barely be above the water. I had some crew complaints that they didn't like the way that it felt when sheeting from the trapeze when the bunji was tugging a little on the lazy sheet. Personally I didn't mind it and when the crew needs the extra sheet while on the wire, it's windy enough that the little bit of tension provided by the bunji on the lazy sheet doesn't affect the spinnaker. However, I rescended and just put a longer sheet on that has about 5 or 6' of slack in it. It's capable of dragging in the water coming out of the hoop but with the block at the back, you just give it a quick pull from either end and the slack ends up back on the trampoline. I'll see if I can get a picture tonight.
