Sebring, Florida. | For the downhaul to your trapeze, you need to put a really small line through the line where your dogbone or whatever you use to hook into. Then have a ring on the end of that, run the downhaul through that. It should be at your stomach then...
Clear as mud?
I don't have this done, YET, but will do this. I know a couple that run it that way and it's perfect.
Thanks Mike, I'll try that.

Memphis, TN | Something I just thought of, but I'm throwing this out, make sure you have enough line on you downhaul to do this.

Looking for a Job, I got credi... | I found that with the DH routed via the trap line; I pull on downhaul and it gets in the way when trapezing down wind.
I just route it via the shroud plate and then either dip in to grab it or hold it in my aft hand while I play the mainsheet and then switch to play change the DH.

| Word of the day: coaching.
Spent the weekend in Daytona and several people commented that I'm sailing better. That's after two days of coaching. Obviously that won't correct 30 years of bad habits! So remember, "practice makes permanent." Make sure when you do practice, you're doing it right. Imo, the best way is to hire a coach or attend a seminar.

Knokke-Heist - Belgium | For double handed set up we like the downhaul going to the crews trap. You have to get used to it in the beginning, but it is very easy to adjust while trapping out. http://alturl.com/yyt8t > on the beach tramp setup http://alturl.com/9tqjk > on the water, you can see the downhaul line above my front leg More tips&tracks on Matt's facebook page (Falcon Marine LLC). | | | Re: optimized uni

| Nothing really. I only know a couple of people who use them. No complaints, but no great praise either.

Northfield Mn | No complaints, but no great praise either. I know on my FXone it was a massive upgrade over the Hobie unit, I never used the original ring that came with the Viper. The mesh bottom units are sweet because they drain, but the mesh does makes snuffing harder.
I'm boatless.
