I do not agree with you using the main halyard and boom over to one side to tension the shrouds. There was one team in the 2000 Worrell that did this on their Inter 20 and broke the halyard roller at the top of the mast. I don't think that the roller/bearing was designed for that much pressure without the sail up. Everything else you said about keeping the mast up was a good idea. Just my thoughts.
