Not a 35-3 but perhaps a solution you'd consider.
Touche's pole downhaul is doubled so it can be adjusted from either side. It
does not run across the cabin but instead runs down the deck just inside the
toe rails.
The 2:1 downhaul runs through a single swivel block with snapshackle that clips
to the bridle ring. The two ends are run down to 2 swivel single blocks
attached to the foredeck padeye on a single springhook. From each single
block, a line runs down each side of the boat through single blocks which are
attached to stanchion bases by springhooks. From the stanchions just forward
of the cockpit, the lines run to angled camcleats on either side of the cabin.
The two ends are tied together in the cockpit and usually tossed below into the
cabin. The lines are easily reached and adjusted by the guy trimmer as
required.
The whole system is removed between regattas.
