On my previous boat (1975 C&C35 MK2), I put in a 4:1/8:1 system. Henry
from Layline put it together for me. I wish they were still around.
I could get the main in very quick pulling both lines, then pull on one
line to harden up. Flick of the lines down out of the cleats would give
a quick controlled ease of the main.

Lots of great ideas – thanks all!
Coquina is about to turn 50 and like a lightbulb suddenly going off, I
am like “Just because someone did it this way in 1973 because that is
how they were used to doing it from the 1960s doesn’t mean it is the
best way”. My genoa was off for a UV cover replacement and we were
reaching in 25+ under just the main and there were a couple of times I
really would have liked sheet control from the helm!
