I miss more stoppers for additional ropes on my 575.
I wonder if anyone felt the same and made any change. The room for stoppers is tight... Thank you

More stoppers for what lines? I actually have an open stopper I haven't used yet. Maybe this is an outcome of the roller furling boom, but I'm curious as to why you need stoppers. |

German,
We have the slab reef standard mainsail arrangment. I fitted two permanent preventers to our 575. I replaced the portside single clutch on the bulwark which was for the headsail furling line with a double, one is used for the furling line and one for the preventer. I mounted the original single clutch from the portside onto the stbd side bulwark. I dispensed with the German Sheeting system and just have the main sheet going to the port clutch bank. This gave me a spare clutch on the stbd bank which I moved the Vang line to. This meant I then had a spare clutch on the port side clutch bank and I used that for the Topping lift which was originally on a cleat on the mast. So now on the port side clutch bank I have (Port to stbd)- ST headsail halyard. Gen halyard Topping lift Reef 2 Mainsheet On the STBD side clutch bank I have Vang Main outhaul Reef one Main Halyard ST headsail sheet. Hope this helps.

Nice... I didn't run the preventer back, that helps... I supposed I could use the messenger/open stopper for it, but its not used all that often. Port Side: Spinaker Halyard ST Headsail Halyard Mainsheet (German system) ST Headsail Sheet (open with messenger) Starboard Side: Leisurefurl Boom Furling Line Leisurfurl Boom Vang Main Halyard Main Sheet (German system) Topping Lift FWIW |

Thank you for the answers
I miss two ropes. One spare halyard to climb the mast if needed while the mainsail is up. Another for a second spi. I have one screacher, that I use with a 2x1 reduction halyard and would love to use the gennaker with a simple halyard to be easily put down. Those two ropes would make me feel more secure while Sailing. I will use the idea of a single Mainsheet to add one more stopper Thank you again.

German,
I use the topping lift as my safety line when going up the mast. Likewise it could be used to climb the mast if your main sail was up. I upgraded the topping lift to Dyneema so it could be used as a main halyard if the main halyard failed whilst sailing or got damaged. Regarding the extra SPI halyard I guess the only option is to fit a clutch to the mast.

I have followed your recommendation and changed the german system for a single mainsail rope.
It seems that the rope is putting more pressure on the stopper and looses a few centimeters when out of the whinch. Please let me know where you fixed the other end of the line. Thank you |

I use a stopper at the mast for the ST jib halyard. This frees one clutch on the port side.
In port the jib is protected by a cover. The hoisting line for this is also on a light stopper at the mast.
