[frers-list]Pole downhaul

[Bill Thompson]

I have the same setup: foreguy (pole down) on cabin sides, and topping lift (pole up) in cabin top clutch.

I think the foreguy setup was designed to be accessible to someone on the rail, which has never happened, mostly because we rarely have weight on a rail under spi, & when we do, not that far aft.

It's really hard for the pit man to reach from the companionway, so the windward side is a mainsail trimmer responsibility - only sort of works because there is so much action with a chute flying.

In light air, it means somebody besides helm has to be aft of cockpit/cabin bulkhead...

We're still trying to determine how we're gonna do it, though at the moment another cabin top clutch seems better - just meeds to be positioned to avoid confusion.
