Jake and Bill,

we run the downhaul lines from the swivelling cleats out to the shroud today. From there they pass trough a block before a bungee suck them under the tramp. Spi sheet goes over the downhaul lines. However, uncleating the downhaul when trapeezing low can be an issue when the spi sheet lies on top. The downhaul lines running out to the shrouds is also one thing extra for the crew to watch out for when tacking or jibing in weak winds. So if there was an elegant way to run the lines from the mast base under the tramp and out to the shrouds it would be worthwhile to have a look at. Hence the question.. I think I have seen a Tornado rigged this way, but I can't remember how it was done.
