[Public-List] configuring sailing controls

[Gordon Laco via Public-List]

Me too, but after I found I never bothered to use the 4:1 I just went 3:1 when I bought the wood shelled blocks. 

I keep a snap shackle between the main sheet and the traveler car after reading about someone using the tackle to hoist a MOB out of the water.  Hope I never have to try it out
