I've fabricated the 9:1, and will post pictures soon. I'm very pleased with the result.

I haven't sailed with it because I have yet to fit an outhaul, and have been too busy to sail for 18 months (ouch!), but I have managed outfit my new mast, build a mast step with integral downhaul and mast rotation control, interface the new boom to the new mast, and build the 9:1 system. I hope to be back on the water soon. Hopefully before I have time to add a self-tacker and snuffer. ;-)
