Semi-self-tending staysail
Hi, I'm also considering this semi-self-tending setup. I have a related question regarding vang/preventer efficiency: It seems to me that to achieve this, the outboard blocks (which in my case can be on deck) must be a as much forward as possible. On the other hand, this will probably put a very high load on the other "sheet" block, as the angle between the "sheet" and the boom will be very small.
Any comments to this? What would be the ideal position for the blocks?
Cheers,
