I think that in any condition where you are needing to adjust the downhaul,=

by definition, you have someone adjusting the spinnaker guy, so that person=

normally would reach forward and ease or tighten as needed. There are times=

where this person is called to another duty so in those cases the main
trimmer makes the adjustment, usually to snug it up.

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 avoi=
d
confusion.
