Alan, This was my solution to the problem of having too much mainsheet rope and not enough power. Similar to your setup I can course adjust (3:1) with jammer and winch. Additionally a fine adjust (4:1 x 3:1 = 12:1) is provided in the cockpit right at the traveller. It would be easy enough to add to your setup and you could reduce the power to 8:1 (2:1 x 4:1) or 6:1 (2:1 x 3:1). Check out the pictures in the link.
