Hi Paul,

I had a similar system on my sloop rigged Mossie and the crew adjusted it a fair bit, downwind to upwind as the forestay went slacker downwind, tighter upwind and for different wind strengths. Some newer Mossies use a single line system from the Halyard down the mast, which is not so obvious but does the same thing.

Hey if you are in Canberra keep in touch with any regattas worth coming to, as you are only 5hrs. away for Tim and 4hrs for Neil, I wouldn't mind doing some either, although I don't have a Mossie these days. I can help with rig set up though <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" />.
Maybe you could visit down here, (Gippsland Lakes) some time it's warmer <img src="http://www.catsailor.com/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" />.
