[quote=revintage][quote=rungi]its not over thinking it works perfectly. i tested it today
you can tie an alpine butterfly on main halyard rope at a height above the diamond wires mast attchment
run preventor throgh the buterfly loop. the pigtail is not needed.
the jib sheets cross smoothly every time![/quote]
So before lowering your main, you first remove the preventor and then loosen the butterfly knot?
Give up those crazy "reinventing the wheel" ideas and follow the sensible suggestions you have got here and go by the book!
Tried to find an image on how it should be done and the only one was this vintage photo from the early 80´s, with one of my first Tornado´s. No problem to tie the bungi chord with a clove hitch on each diamond wire a fair bit up.
