No Timbo, the sheet runs through a harken ball block at the shroud, forward to a carboratchet on the main beam and then out to the crew. Anne is just a 4' 11" wimp! <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

We've actually discussed putting a second autoratchet in place of the harken ball block, so I guess that's what we'll be doing.
