Hi Bill,

Here is are some photos of my setup:





The top Double is a Harken 2602
The middle Double is a Harken 2638
The bottom ratchet is the Harken 170 Hexa-Cat (standard J/30 mainsheet)
The triple is Harken 196 Low Profile Triple with Cam & Becket

I measured the fine tune so that when we are hard on the wind the small double is just belown the top double when the top telltail is just streaming 100% of the time (powered up mode). This gives me plenty of adjustment to get the leach right where I want it. Once I measured it, I cut it and put a ball on the end so we can just blow it on tacks and it stops in powered up mode and then all we do is just re-trim after a tack with the fine tune.

Hope this helps.
