I know, but we like frapilator around here. :)
Touche' has a dedicated frapilator (fraculator). 5-6 foot piece of StaSet line
with eye on one end and snap shackle on the other.
We like our blenders also. Or is it a blenderator?

>>>On racing boats, when the wind is aft of about 50 degrees apparent,
the crew rigs an outboard lead for the jib sheet. Sheeting the jib to a
block on the rail opens up the leech of the jib and reduces twist, allowing the
sail to be eased farther without luffing. This in turn allows the main to be
eased, too. The upshot of all this is that the boat goes faster and
stands up straighter, making life aboard more comfortable, which appeals to all
cruising sailors.
>>>
>>>There are several easy ways to set up an outboard sheet, if you've
got a place to attach a block on the rail. One way to do it is to run
the lazy, or windward, sheet through the outboard block and to a
secondary winch. Then make the old sheet the new windward sheet. Another
way is to use a third sheet and run it from the secondary winch through
the block to the clew of the jib. Make sure the outboard lead is
forward of the normal, closehauled lead to prevent the top of the sail
twisting off too much and luffing as it's eased.
