Ever since we have started sailing spinnaker cats, we have used a combined tack line / Halyard system with the halyard running of a swivel cleat on the mast.

My new boat was fitted standard with the same system, however I have always been curious in the seperate tack line system with a Spinlock cleat on the front beam for halyard and one on the outer front for tack. I have just bought all the goodies to set up this system and plan on retaining the fittings for the other system to alow me options depending on crew available's preferance and to experiment between the 2 systems.

Obviously plenty out there have been there and done that regarding experimenting between the 2 systems and would like to here other's feedback.
