I think these are some good ideas. I think a full hoist #3 would be another adjustment along with the weight. That would basically eliminate the need for a #2.

I would also be receptive to OD sailing with just a full hoist #3. I have never really understood why you would OD with anything other than just a #3 or a #2. I know it needs power but that is needed in PHRF not OD.
