[quote=MN3][quote]I don't see how it's going to twist or anything more than just around the shackle holding the foot.[/quote]
well as the sail and drum furl the halyard coming out the bottom is gonna twist
i put a swivel block on the halyard / uphaul just above and below the furler so only 1.5" (edit 1.5 feet not inches) dynema is gonna twist and it can twist from both ends so it should not compress the line via twist
[quote]I assume the block at the far right will be on the bow bridle tang? [/quote]
I omitted the data there will be a CF pole right below the furler (it's job is to hold a small front tramp for my anchor and righting bag) (edit - the turning block will be attached to the pole via a line that will allow it to move just enough to be inline if the bridal moves (the bridal will also be secured from moving via a few guy lines on the pole)

[quote]then I don't see why you couldn't just use sister clips at the halyard/uphaul.[/quote]
I was gonna then researched it - the breaking load is only 70kg for my clips - i don't think that is enough if there was some unexpected stress on it (aka a human in a peter-pan or a hard capsize, or hitting a tree (again))...<!-- editby --><em>Edited by MN3 on Aug 01, 2019 - 05:53 PM.</em><!-- end editby --> [/quote]
