Yes, the double auto ratchets make a big difference when the wind is up. When you are setting the spring tension, make sure you put the beam block on heavy tension and the shroud one on light, so on light days you will only be clicking one block, not two and when you release all pressure, the beam will release, even though there is still tension from it to the shroud block, otherwise it won't freewheel when you release the sheet and the gybe will be ruined....not that I've ever done that.... ;^0
