Reply to: releasing downhaul from the trapeze

[quote=traphappy]Thanks all! As mentioned, the location on the mast is important. They are mounted quite high on the (stock) mast. I also have knobby 8-plait line that is naturally hard to release. Currently the extra line gets sucked into the beam. I made the setup but made the mistake of cutting the line and installing a sister near the beam for easy mast removal. I think this will make it difficult to attach it to the crew trapeze. The sister clip may not play well at times with the turning block on the crew trapeze. I don't race aside from club events, but do like the idea of being able to have more control over the downhaul on days when the wind is up and down. It would be nice to be able to play it in and out from the trapeze, especially because it makes a huge difference in the boat's performance (ability to sheet main properly without going over). We use other settings such as diamond wire tension, board height, and rotation, but downhaul is key. Sam, thanks for the offer to sell a couple. I'm still in the research phase.[/quote]
