As already suggested, try a 2:1 halyard arrangement. For a hanked-on sail, a 2:1 downhaul is very simple to accomplish. The trouble with setting-up is that the sail must be fully run up the stay, and there must be sufficient room below the tack to allow for sail stretch; it's amazing how easily/quickly a 2:1 tack downhaul will get two-blocked.
