Before you start drilling, you need to take a look at how the tack line works on The Infusions - really slick. it can be set up so that there can be multiple release points around the tramp. I have one at each rear corner so that i can release going either way through the gate and there is one middle of tramp so that the crew can release it too.

Yep, that is a Tornado thing...... Have seen it and will base mine of it. It will have atleast 3 release points. One for the crew just beside the retrievel line and one each side for the skipper. I am also looking at setting it up so the ones on the side also are accessable to the skipper whilst he is on trap.
The side ones will come from under the tramp, coming out of an eyelet and will run down the tramp along side where the hull and tramp join, to the rear beam..... It will then come through a saddle riveted on the front edge of the rear beam and have a loop so the skipper on trap can lean down and grab n pull. This will give the skipper access anywhere along the side of the boat. The line will be kept taught and low and will be about 1.5mm in diameter.
