Bob, Have done it that way myself for many years. Works great especially when really blowing. There is also a little trick of how you hold the lazy guy so it never gets put in the jaws backwards and wraps the jaw.I was shown this method many years ago by a guy named Tom Dabny, he has or did have a sail loft in Mobile Al. Was also an olympic sailer back in the day.JimGalaxy Brielle, NJ
