When you don't have a gorilla as crew it helps to keep them smiling if you can reduce the load on the spin sheet. I have Harken ratchematic blocks on the hull and at the front cross bar to get some relief when just holding the line. When the wind is up or the distance is great I add a couple of pulleys on pigtails to the clew of the chute and thread the spin sheet through them with the end of the sheet tied of in a figure of 8. When you want to use the doubler you just grab the knot and drag it back to a hook at the side shroud - just remember to release it when you gybe!

My better half insists on it if I expect her to run the chute for anything other than round the cans.
