Genius!
I have been using a block and tackle connected between the pullpit and the jib halyard, and using the cabin top winches to haul it up. This puts a lot of load on the halyard swivel so it's probably not ideal. Your system pushes up instead of hauling up, very clever.

Re: Cockpit locker seals
What did you wind up using Peter (do you have a link)? And did you have to adjust the hinges to accommodate the seals?

Re: Hawkesbury and tiller pilot
Good to hear both of your progress. Hungary, who'd have thought? Peter, I still haven't fitted the DC socket for the tiller pilot. I decided against the inside of the combing as it would be uncomfortable to sit against when not in use. So far I have just been running the wire out from the cabin. Mes...

Re: Sail Trim
I've watched those videos quite a few times, very useful. There's also a free trim training web app here: https://www.nauticed.org/sailing-courses/view/basic-sail-trim For luff tension. I have the original setup with a 2:1 block on the tack (there's a picture in the Moreton Bay Investigator club doc...
