Reply to: Hobie 18 Downhaul

[quote=tamumpower1]I have a dual exit 8:1 on one boat and a single exit 6:1 on the other. Dual exit is a waste because it doesn't bend the mast enough to actively use it in the puffs. Just having a cleated adjustable downhaul is all you need to be able to adjust it to the wind conditions on the fly or upwind downwind. It's not like you need the line coming out both sides of the mast to the traps. Just run a single line and let it just flop around on the tramp. You can always just lean in and make the adjustment as needed, which isn't much really. Keep in mind if you want it maxed you have to sheet in first. If you downhaul first it will be loose after you tighten the main in[/quote]
