Colin,

I route control line tails on the Stealth through eyes or blocks and take up the slack by sewing bungee onto the ends. There is no real downside to this as you just have to think through where/how you can dereave the lines when derigging. The upside is that everything is neat and tidy. The two exceptions on my boat are the trapeze return bungees which are simply knotted to the trapeze lines and the main downhaul which is on VERY small S/S hooks that pass through the mainbeam endcaps.

This is because I found that I have to take off ALL the tension on the purchase to be able to unhook the tack of the main.....

The only thing I still have left to do is create a tunnel under the tramp (in tramp material) to tidy up the underside.

As you've already spotted, taking up the slack on large purchase systems (downhaul etc) requires a lot of bungee!

See you at Mumbles during the F16 Nations Cup?
