I know TA had some pics of the system used where the skipper can release the tackline for the crew during the takedown from the back of the bus.... but I can't find those pics now.

Couple of questions about it though. If the crew wants, can they release the tack from the front beam during the takedown still?

What happens when you want to let out some tackline to decrease luff tension? Is it possible to do this with this system?

If anyone has pics of that setup I'd be grateful.

Thanks

See the trip line (Red tie balls) near the retrieval line for the crews access.

Just ease a bit of halyard. Tack line will stay put.

Halyard is harder to ease when loaded. Already have a 2:1 tack line.

Thanks bro.
