<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hi Joe</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Checkmate has jib & spinnaker halyds on the
same side leading aft so as to share the same winch. The spinnaker pole lines
are also led aft to the other side for a total of 4 lines led aft. At one time
the mainsheet was led to the cabin top. I removed that, but the winch is still
there-unused. I don't see much point in leading the main halyd aft(though it
would be easy, in my case), because I have to fool with the topping lift, the
outhaul(mine's led forward inside the boom), The boom downhaul,and whatever that
line is called that sucks the bottom part of the main closer to the mast because
my antique main is cut to match my antique roller furler
mechanism.:)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Anyway, The jib halyard led aft is great. If I
could just remember to rig a downhaul for it before the time where I would
like to use it, life would be good.</FONT></DIV>
