Paul,
I'd prefer my quick release to be on the boom where both skipper and crew can easily get to it.
Then I also prefer my rotation to come off the boom.
People with rotation off the tramp can still put the quick release on the boom if they want it there.
It just means threading a short line through two sheaves when rigging.

Regards,
Phill

I know that the voices in my head aint real,
but they have some pretty good ideas.
There is no such thing as a quick fix and I've never had free lunch!
