   On my 400e I have an electric winch to Stbd rear. So I run the main halyard to that. That allows me to hoist while at the helm. Main sheet goes to Port rear. Vang to Stbd cabin top (unless needed for a reef). Outhaul to Port cabin top (again unless needed for a reef etc). That leaves Genoa sheets to forward winches or if using the STJ then that goes to Stbd. Traveller I have a on long lengths that can be pulled back to the helm in principle. In reality, if needed in a hurry I’ll often ease the main a little then sort the traveller when there’s a moment to go forward of the wheel. I can tack up rivers with that setup even with the Genoa on. With the STJ on it’s almost too easy :) Suitable use of autopilot or wheel brake lets me adjust outhaul, Cunningham or vang tension.

	Pekka, Could you post more detailed pictures? First pic looks to be standard set up, with jib sheet going up the mast. I would like to see how you have led the jib sheets through the block on the self tacker stand and then back alongside. can you post a closer pic?

	The sheet comes from the mast first to block at the base of the mast, then to through a block at the self tacker stand (pictured), then through barber hauler block (pictured) and finally through genoa block to either of the rear winches. The fastening for barber hauler block is noin standard in H371. I guess the block could be attached to the shrouds base instead? Edited by PekkaL - 27 May 2022 at 21:09

	Sounds reasonable. The eyelet for mine is about the same. Will rig it and get used to it. Appreciate the info and advice! Great resource this.
