Everyone - thanks very much for the very useful and informative responses - much appreciated! The goal is to get setup as simply as possible.
I am tending for symmetrical setup for sure - just nice to be able to go close to DDW efficiently - for cruising and racing (no asymmetrical in our fleet). So here’s where I’m at… 1. Baby stay - attach snap shackle at base with bungee to pull it to base of mast when disengaged. Use block and tackle on baby stay for adjustments (maybe 4:1, not sure yet). 2. Topping lift - consensus is that there is a sheave in the slot 2/3 the way up the mast I will check that out for sure. I will keep topping lift cleat on the mast - for end to end gybe’s it should require minimal adjustments. 3. Inboard end - I will attach a ring to the mast (head highish) and plan on gybing end to end. 4. Downhaul - I saw the pics thanks but did not see a picture of the deck fitting. I’m pretty sure I could devise a system that connects to toe rail mid pole distance Once again what a great response from this forum - thanks. I will reply with an update hopefully sooner than later!
