Traveler/mainsheet setup.

The new block at the bottom (Harken 57) gives me a little better sail control. The original setup had the sheet running through a cam cleat on the port, up to the boom end block, back to a little single block on the starbd, then cliped to the becket. This is much smoother and allows a little control over direction of pull. The only drawback is the block tends to bang around in light air and big waves. I could 'shift' from 3:1 to 2:1 by clipping the sheet to itself instead of to the becket, but never do it.
