Pictures are worth a thousand words :)

Also, you already had a winch on the port side right? I only have one on the starboard side and since I'm adding one to the port side it's not too much bother to add a second on the starboard side. Just waiting to find a good deal at the same time that the toy budget has some cash in it.

While aft-placed jammers would work for the chute, they might be limiting, if you ever end up changing the lead possition on the genoa.

Just thinking. We do change ours forward off the wind.
