Thanks Steve, a closeup of your spinnaker cleat setup would be helpful (at the mast)!

Really well done demonstration.  Thanks for taking the time to get a good camera angle. Excellent editing as well.  Would you post a photo or spec on the mast block/cleat you are running on MM?

Thanks

The angle is critical.

Like this solution much better than the upside-down cleat thing I've seen before.
