A Class Cat Set Up

Your rotation and downhaul setups are great. The mainsheet system (while great for an expert) also looks compelling, but looks very unforgiving on mistakes, with a very fast dump during loss of sheet tension, and the potential for line tangling. Can you comment? I'm new to As and sail a non-foiling 10 year old boat with a lot of upgrades.
Nice set up Grant. I'm getting ready to switch my mainsheet to this configuration. A question: how are you suspending the block that runs up the boom and what block is it? Thanks Bob O USA 108
